Forum Interactive
This is a company that uses theatre-based scenarios to deliver equality and diversity training. In a field where there has in the past been a huge emphasis on paper and policy rather than the human and interactive issues this company provides a refreshing antidote. High quality training, backed by research and evaluation, and delivered in a way which will certainly bring the message home.

Neish Training
Many people who became involved in our training programme asked where we had got hold of copies of the Jane Elliott Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes experiment video. We got our copy from Neish Training, in Glasgow, who have a range of excellent learning materials in this field and also provide courses and seminars.
