Equity, Power and Inclusion: realities and opportunities - Workshop 2023
This full day hybrid workshop is designed to bring together leaders in peace, security, humanitarian and governance sectors who are seeking to lead power, equity and inclusion more effectively.
At this inflection point where ‘business as usual’ risks growing inequality, division and environmental destruction, we have both a responsibility and opportunity to harness human talent and creativity to address our must pressing challenges.
The workshop is designed to create a space for hindsight, insight and foresight: to pause, reflect on what current realities are and be intentional about the future we want to create.
Join other professionals grappling with the challenges of the current reality, of power and privilege, and gain insights into different ways to generate inclusion and belonging.
Both the morning and afternoon sessions will include a key-note mixer session and group exchange and de-brief.
