Diversity and Allyship Workshop
Diversity has become a buzzword in the workplace, but without inclusion, it's meaningless. Inclusion has to come from all sides, so it's essential that teams and individuals understand why diversity is good for everyone and how they can actively work the create inclusive environments for everyone. Whether that be diversity of culture, race, gender, sexuality, age, brain, educational background, etc. By exploring unconscious bias, and exploring their own biases and blindspots, individuals can practice self-awareness and begin to create an inclusive world where everyone thrives.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will:
- Learn how diversity and inclusion leads to better outcomes for people and the organisation.
- Learn the difference between equity and equality
- Understand unconscious bias and explore their own bias
- Learn how to proactively use their understanding to be allies in the workplace and community
Queer Identities and Allyship Workshop
In high school did you learn about gender identities, allyship and terms like cisgender, non-binary and AFAB? Neither did I. So much has changed in the last 10-20 years and it can be hard to keep up and understand the changing landscape, new terms and issues that the queer/trans communities are facing.
This interactive workshop is a safe space to ask questions and learn about gender, assumptions and how to be inclusive and aware in the workplace or community.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will:
- understand the struggles and realities of gender diverse people
- understand new common-usage terms (e.g. cisgender, trans, non-binary and AFAB)
- explore new perspectives on privilege
- learn how to proactively use their understanding to be allies in the workplace and community
