The Power of Compassion for Inclusion programme

Compassionate Cultures – action for change (Workshop 3 of 3)

Introduction: 

Our innate instinct to show compassion when we see others in distress or difficulty is an important part of what makes us human. At the same time, it is also humanly possible to be selective with our compassion resulting in inequitable treatment and outcomes. This can be due to a range of different factors, and during these workshops we explore, what can impede compassion and also ways to expand our innate compassion to contribute to building inclusive mindsets, practices and cultures. Learning how simple everyday changes can make a real difference.   

This workshop provides those attending an opportunity to understand how microaggressions and microinvalidations can manifest and their impact. To understand how to support change at different levels, whether for an individual, group or organisation.  And how different approaches and practices can contribute to building an inclusive culture and make a positive difference.

This programme runs across 3 workshops and this is the first workshop of three.
