Last week, the latest training session for mentees centred on campaigning. Thank you to our speakers Huw Owen from the Electoral Commission, who covered an overview of the regulations around campaigning, and Damian Kerlin, a PR and comms consultant who delivered a 'Be Your Own Brand' workshop.

EPEV mentees had the opportunity to visit Westminster for a tour around the home of the UK Parliament and a series of insightful talks. Thank you to our speakers for sharing your honest and powerful reflections on representation, the importance of lived experience, and breaking down barriers.

Our mentees began interactive sessions on intersectional practice in public and political life today. They explored the meaning of intersectionality, systems of oppression, and future leadership. The cohort shared thoughtful insights, and look forward to the next sessions.

Our EPEV mentees joined an interactive Cultural Awareness and Anti-racism session with EYST this week, exploring culture, racial trauma, and the Anti-racist Wales Action Plan. The session ended with best practices for fostering equity and inclusion in public life.

Our mentees recently had the opportunity to visit the heart of Welsh democracy - the Senedd. Find out more on our blog ⬇ epev.cymru/2025/11/epev... Yn ddiweddar, cafodd ein mentoreion gyfle i ymweld â chalon democratiaeth Cymru - y Senedd. Dysgwch fwy ar ein blog ⬇ epev.cymru/cy/2025/11/t...

Our EPEV mentees took part in LGBTQ+ Allyship training with Stonewall, exploring its history, key terminology, and how to be active allies. A supportive space for learning and growth, building on their journey toward inclusive public leadership.

We had a great day at the Senedd in Cardiff with passionate EPEV mentees and mentors! Highlights included talks from Mark Isherwood MS and former mentee Dee Montague-Coast, networking lunch, livestream of First Minister’s Questions, and a Senedd tour - a fantastic insight into public life in Wales.
