Hosting DE&I talks and panels offer a valuable alternative to workshops, providing employees with a broader platform to engage with these critical topics.
MRG talks and panels allow for more flexible participation, as employees can listen and reflect without the pressure of direct interaction, making it more accessible for those who may be hesitant to engage in a workshop setting.
Led by a moderator, we invite members of our collective who sit across a broad intersection of diversity to join us in discussion about topics which provide your community with tools to better understand how they can lean into being changemakers for underrepresented people.
Hearing personal stories and expert insights can help employees connect emotionally to the issues of discrimination, bias, and inequality, which are often harder to grasp in theory-based workshops.
We cover a wide range of DE&I topics, which encourage open dialogue, which broadens the understanding of workplace issues such as racism, gender inequality, and ableism.
Your employees will leave with a better awareness of the complexities surrounding marginalisation and the importance of allyship.
All sessions can be hosted in person or online and are intended to feel conversational across a 30, 60 or 75 minute format.
Talk: What in the World is Code Switching
Code switching is the way in which a member of an underrepresented group (consciously or unconsciously) adjusts their language, syntax, grammatical structure, behaviour, and appearance to fit into the dominant culture or professional settings.
Talk: Celebrating Trans Liberation
Often when speaking about historically marginalised communities, in particular, trans people, we speak about their trauma, and not the empowerment and liberation that they experience in living truthfully.
Talk: Pride 365
With the month of June cemented in our calendars as the global celebration of the LGBTQ+ community for Pride, we explore how we can build on authentic representation and allyship in the workplace everyday.
Talk: Challenging hair bias in the workplace
Afro-Caribbean hair has constantly been scrutinised in the workplace for its look, “feel” and the perceived level of professionalism that the wearer projects.
