10.00 Heidi Copeman will be speaking about gender equality issues through history to the present day and the impact these often unconscious ‘values’ have in our everyday lives.

11.00 Gorel Bogarde Director of Policy, Advocacy and Campaigns for Plan International (headquarters in Woking!) will introduce us to the work that Plan International undertakes around the globe with particular regard to their policies and programmes based around the “Because I am a Girl” campaigns.
