New specialised course: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Engagement
Explore Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and what this means for engagement.
An IAP2 Australasia specialised course, in partnership with Articulous.
This training program explores Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and what this means for engagement. It unpacks the principles of DEI, then challenges program participants to explore the barriers, systems and structures that impact on engagement. This program tackles complex topics such as race, disability, privilege, trauma and our own unconscious biases, asking participants to self-reflect and expand on their engagement practices. The program challenges the concept of “hard to reach” and asks participants to consider who is “hardly reached” in traditional engagement methods and process.
