A.B.I.D.E. Masterclass
Moving beyond performative diversity, this Learning Lab introduces Stage A Change’s signature ABIDE framework that addresses each concept as an individual and specific part of a workplace and shares tangible metrics to recognise and measure them.
Participants will leave with a clear understanding of the intersection between ABIDE, learn how to recognise shortfalls within their work and be offered solutions to enact change.
Building an Inclusive Arts Practice
Together we unpack how to use this language to create and request brave and emboldened spaces for our work, with conscious communication and collaboration front of mind.
Workshop participants will walk away with personal and organisational tools, language, considerations and measures to promote a more inclusive, equitable and safer workplace.
Championing Anti Racism in the Workplace
This session explores the history of race, colonised practices, white supremacy culture and anti-racism. We do a deep dive into racism – what it is, what causes it, and how it continues to permeate the arts sector (even with the best of intentions). Participants are encouraged to assess their identity and experiences to recognise their power and agency to create and champion change.
Defining and Addressing Microaggressions
Participants in this session will investigate the different types of microaggressions, understand the impact, and identify ways to address and interrupt them when they arise.
This session encourages participants to recognise patterns in their personal habits, workplace, and sector and to mitigate the negative impacts on others.
This workshop is an excellent companion to the inclusive workplace workshop.
Embedding Belonging and Inclusion
This session is a deeper dive into the ABIDE framework, focusing specifically on Belonging and Inclusion. This workshop is an excellent team building session, full of practical ways to engage with each other, the community and stakeholders in a meaningful way.
Participants will consider current and past practices and identify opportunities to shift protocols to take action building and sustaining inclusive and welcoming spaces.
