Applications are now open for the three-day workshop for civil society leaders and practitioners seeking practical ways to make their organisations and programmes more inclusive.
Despite good intentions, many organisations continue to unintentionally exclude the very communities they seek to support. Policies may appear inclusive, programmes may reach large numbers, and workplaces may value diversity, yet power often remains concentrated in familiar ways.
This workshop introduces participants to intersectionality as a practical framework for understanding and addressing exclusion. Moving beyond seeing intersectionality as simply the overlap of identities, the workshop explores how power, privilege and disadvantage interact in organisational life, programme design and institutional decision-making.
Participants will examine their own organisations, programmes and policies through an intersectional lens, learn practical tools for identifying hidden exclusions, and develop realistic action plans for creating more equitable and inclusive organisations.
The workshop combines conceptual understanding with practical application and is designed for leaders who are committed to strengthening both social justice and organisational effectiveness.
