BASES SEPAR Equality Diversity and Inclusion workshop

About
This workshop is only available for Candidates undertaking the BASES SEPAR.
Price: Included in SEPAR application fee
Booking Deadline: Sunday 26 November 2023, Midnight
Aims of the workshop
This workshop is an opportunity to define core competencies around equity, diversity, and inclusion and provide attendees with key skills to appreciate, understand and interact with a variety of individuals. Our overarching objective for the workshop is to have attendees understand both observable and non-observable levels of diversity. We want SEPAR candidates at the workshop to become equipped with strategies to facilitate individual, group, and organizational inclusion. We will deliver topics that cover aspects of diversity and inclusion from a theoretical perspective, but we will be focused on giving attendees practical knowledge and tools. This approach will allow attendees to think critically about diversity, incorporate it into their own practice, and consider how they may wish to continue their own learning journey.
