Our Events FACEs: Intersectionality

Description

Community Business’ signature offering, designed to bring issues of diversity and inclusion to life by sharing real stories of workplace exclusion and challenging the audience to identify a more inclusive approach.  

In this highly interactive workshop, Community Business works with diverse individuals – inviting them to share their personal stories of exclusion in the workplace. Delegates are invited to respond, discussing what can be done to address the issues raised and consider how they can play a role in creating a more inclusive work environment. Stories will be developed to explore different aspects of diversity and exclusion, including gender, culture, disability, LGBT+, etc.  

By bringing the issues of diversity and inclusion to life, this session opens the eyes of delegates to the experiences of others, challenges mindsets and motivates all to take action to create a more inclusive culture.
