The VinciWorks 2027 inclusion calendar is now available to download for free from our website. It maps out the religious observances, cultural celebrations and national campaigns worth marking throughout the year with links to relevant VinciWorks tools, courses and guides to help you plan training and communications around the moments your employees and customers care about.
From Ramadan and Diwali to Black History Month and Anti-Bullying Week, every key moment of 2027 is in one place for you to download, share and plan for.
A cheat sheet for people managers and HR teams
Everyone wants to get inclusion right but busy schedules can make it difficult to keep track of the dates that matter most to your colleagues and customers. Knowing in advance when Ramadan begins gives you time to think about how best to support colleagues who are fasting, be that working out different working patterns for them or rolling out educational training for other colleagues. Similarly, knowing when Black History Month is coming means that teams can mark it thoughtfully, with input from the people it means the most to.
Having all of the information in one easy to manage place means that all departments within your organisation can benefit and plan early. HR teams can map out the year’s internal communications, people managers can check in with their teams before celebrations or religious observances, L&D teams can plan training to coincide with events that their colleagues are more likely to engage in, and marketing teams can plan their external communications.
The full year view also makes it easier to see the dates and events that are sometimes overlooked during the busier periods such as World Interfaith Harmony Week, Windrush Day, World Afro Day and Bi Visibility Day.
From key date to training in one click
What sets the VinciWorks 2027 inclusion calendar apart is that key dates throughout the year link through to relevant VinciWorks courses and guides, so you won’t have to search for training or communications material; it’s all there for you.
In February, you can mark the start of Ramadan with our guide to Ramadan, and Race Equality Week with training on tackling race bias at work for managers. March brings Neurodiversity Celebration Week, supported by our course on neurodiversity and inclusion, and Holi, which you can mark with our Holi workplace awareness guide.
Later in the year, we have training on supporting colleagues’ mental health for World Mental Health Day, while the International Day for Older Persons is paired with a course on tackling age bias. You can also find neurodiversity training for ADHD Awareness Month, our menopause at work course for World Menopause Day, and training on bullying and harassment for Anti-Bullying Week.
Marking the date is a good start but pairing it with training can help your employees understand why it matters and what they can do to help their colleagues feel included and celebrated.
Every part of inclusion, all year round
Inclusion is broader than any single campaign and the VinciWorks 2027 inclusion calendar reflects that. Across the year, you will find dates that recognise faith, race, disability, neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ communities, alongside campaigns that raise awareness of caring responsibilities, menopause and mental health.
The full year includes religious observances such as Eid al-Fitr, Rosh Hashanah, Diwali and Hanukkah, national campaigns such as Time to Talk Day, Mental Health Awareness Week and National Carers Week, and month-long events including LGBTQ+ History Month, Disability Pride Month, Black History Month and Disability History Month.
Seeing everything side by side can help you spot the gaps and plan activities that reflect the full diversity of your teams and make sure everyone feels seen.
Share it with your team
The VinciWorks 2027 inclusion calendar is built for the screen, so it drops into a Teams or Slack channel, an intranet page or a planning document without the need for reformatting. Share it with your managers, your colleagues and anyone else who shapes how your organisation marks the year.
