During this time of disruption we are both connected and disconnected from our colleagues.  Creating time and space to leverage the full potential of our teams and organisations can be challenging.  Some of the barriers to inclusion and belonging are visible, others are harder to see. Taking time to understand our mindsets and mental models which lead to assumptions and stereotypes is the first step in creating awareness.  However, to leverage diversity, we need to act - to implement daily practices which nurture participation and inclusion.  We also need strategies to see and leverage the tensions that arise from difference and commit to applying a ‘diversity and inclusion lens’ in many aspects of our work and life.  This course provides a path for you to advance on this personal and professional journey.

Both conceptual and practical, this course is packed with rich material to challenge your thinking, and at the same time it allows you to develop concrete strategies for your context.  The month-long learning journey creates space for you to reflect and make full use of the virtual platforms, and the Face to Face component allows you to connect with our expert facilitators and fellow participants in person.
