Description
While many companies are putting efforts and resources to address LGBT+ inclusion, are we focusing on uni-dimensional inclusion?
Further to the intersectionality concept in our May workshop, we will take a deeper look at how intersecting identities in the LGBT+ community impact on companies’ LGBT+ inclusion practice.
In this workshop, we will look into the reality of various identities of LGBT+ individuals, and how to build a culture that can recognise and support intersecting identities.
Key Takeaways
- Understand the basics of LGBT+ terminology
- Learn what intersecting identities mean and gain understanding with examples
- Explore what stereotypes, assumptions, and biases people have on LGBT+ individuals and their different identities
- Examine an Intersectional Approach
Target Audience
- D&I representatives
