EPs for Material Change: Community Learning Day
- This event has passed.
Exploring inequality, psychology and making change.
Educational Psychologists for Material Change (EPMC) welcomes you to our online event exploring inequality, psychology and making change.
EPMC believe that inequality is not accidental; it is produced and reproduced by the systems we live and work within. To end inequality, material change is needed: a redistribution of wealth, resources, and power across society.
This virtual Community Learning Day (9 January 2026) invites psychologists to come together to explore the intersections between inequality and psychology. Through dialogue, critical reflection, and collective learning, we will consider how our profession can contribute to genuine social transformation.
Speakers (TBC) will include psychologists, those in education, and those with lived experience of inequality in all its forms. We are particularly committed to centring marginalised voices and building spaces of solidarity.
A community event
This is a DIY event, hosted by EPMC without support or funding. The event is based on 3 fundamental principles.
- Accessibility for all
- Speakers are paid for their time
- Equity over equality – giving according to ability, receiving according to need
To honour these principles, the event operates on a “pay what you can” model, with suggested donations.
- £0 – For those facing financial difficulty (we do not want you to donate to the event, even if you feel compelled to).
- £20 – For those in stable employment (e.g. you are a qualified EP or worker in secure employment)
- £50+ – For those with significant financial security or wealth (e.g you have significant savings/inherited wealth).
We hope that those who can afford to pay do so, to enable those who can’t afford to attend for free and support the fair payment of speakers.
Funds will be transparently managed through Open Collective, ensuring all income goes directly toward paying speakers and keeping the event cost-neutral. A full financial breakdown will be published after the event.
Join us as we reflect, organise, and imagine what it means to move beyond awareness toward material change
