Community Cohesion workshops - Stoke-on-Trent

Grow your business, grow your community - free workshops by Keele Business School

  • Are you a business owner, prospective entrepreneur or policymaker?
  • Are you based in Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Keele, or the surrounding areas?
  • Are you looking at how you can grow your business or get your ideas off the ground?
  • Are you a stakeholder in the community?

If so, you could benefit from a new series of business and community workshops being held by Keele Business School.

These free workshops, led by Dr Tolu Olarewaju (Lecturer of Management, and President of the Staffordshire Black Business Network), will equip attendees with the skills and knowledge needed to improve various aspects of your business, particularly through the integration of the area’s diverse and evolving ethnic minority communities.

People from all ethnic backgrounds are welcome. By integrating academic research with lived experience, the workshops will generate insights that benefit local businesses while also informing national and international discussions on inclusive growth.
