The British Embassy in Amman is launching a month-long campaign
‘UK in Jordan 4 Inclusion’ to celebrate and highlight the
importance and benefits of inclusion in all its forms.
Throughout this month, the British Embassy and British Council
will emphasise inclusion across all areas of their work in
Jordan, including gender equality, youth engagement and the
inclusion of people with disabilities.
The British Ambassador, Bridget Brind, will engage with different
partners to support equality and inclusion as a vital part of the
design and delivery of the UK’s programmes and policies with
Jordanian and international partners. The ‘UK in Jordan 4
Inclusion’ campaign will include a range of activities to promote
inclusion, including in education, the economy, the security
sector, diplomacy and the environment.
The Ambassador will also conduct an outreach visit to Irbid,
meeting refugees, young people and the private sector to
highlight the value of inclusion for Jordan’s economic prosperity
and stability. And she will host a reception to celebrate the
latest young Jordanian recipients of the UK’s prestigious
Chevening Scholarships. The British Embassy and British Council,
will also promote the importance of English-language learning
opportunities for refugees and marginalised people through the
British Council’s online training, as well as the British
Council’s support to the disabled community through its “Arts for
All” Project.
Earlier this summer, Ambassador Brind launched the British
Embassy Amman’s first Gender Equality and Social Inclusion
external Advisory Board. Bringing together prominent experts, the
GESI board serves as a consultative council to the British
Embassy and ensures that gender equality and social inclusion are
at the heart of its work in Jordan.
The British Ambassador said:
I am delighted to launch our UK in Jordan 4 Inclusion campaign.
Inclusion is about valuing diversity and enabling everybody to
contribute for the good of society, regardless of their gender,
race, religion or age. There is clear evidence to support the
fact that inclusion makes a positive difference to issues from
innovation to stability and economic growth. I firmly believe
that the more inclusive we are, the better the outcomes for all,
whether these be economic, social, political, security,
environmental, development, or on health, welfare and wellbeing.
