Amplify Intersectionality at Work
Description
The aim of the Amplify Intersectionality at Work training is to unravel this complexity by exploring intersectionality in the workplace in depth. We delve into the nuances of different intersectional identities, including but not limited to gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and abilities, and how these influence a person’s experiences and opportunities in the professional sphere.
Participants are encouraged to engage in introspection and share their personal experiences, fostering empathy and understanding within the group. This safe and supportive environment promotes open discussion, leading to a richer understanding of the multifaceted nature of intersectionality.
The training also provides participants with practical strategies to address and reduce the effects of intersectional discrimination in the workplace. By applying an intersectional lens to policies, practices and everyday interactions, participants can contribute to a more inclusive and equitable work environment.
Furthermore, the training encourages proactive steps towards change. Participants are empowered to become advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion and are encouraged to challenge systemic biases and work to dismantle oppressive structures within their organisations.
At the end of the Amplify Intersectionality at Work Training, participants will not only have a deeper understanding of intersectionality, but also the tools and motivation to bring about meaningful change. They will be prepared to advocate for a workplace that respects and celebrates the diverse identities of all its members, fostering an inclusive culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
