Black and ethnic minority members (B&EMM) section residential school is now open to all FBU members of Black and minoritized heritage and applications close on Tuesday 30th September.
Open to all FBU members of with heritage from Black and minoritized communities, the school is a key event in the B&EMM calendar. The school is an important tool for establishing and building relationships with fire and rescue service workers from across the UK and developing valuable support networks within the B&EMM family.
B&EMM school has become renowned for its ability to educate and empower in a welcoming and safe environment, providing a varied catalogue of guest speakers and workshops that allow for free expression, creativity and improved self-development. This school will be no different.
Black and minoritized people are centred at B&EMM school. In particular, we encourage applications from Black and minoritized women, those who have not attended a school in the past, and those looking to develop or build on their current union knowledge and activism.
Accommodation is provided for the entirety of the school along with all meals. Reasonable travel expenses will also be reimbursed. Those on duty should apply for trade union leave as necessary via their appropriate brigade rep. Applications to B&EMM school are made through your regional, brigade rep or RELO.
