This 3-series workshop aims to be a starting point for participants to gain the confidence and language to embark on a shared journey towards making workplace and community-facing diversity and inclusion real in their organisations.

It can be particularly stressful in small organisations that rely on cooperation and commonality of view. However, it can also have positive effects.
