We are seeing an increase in polarisation across society. Our recent Lunch and Learn session looked at the impact of polarisation in the EDI space. Here are some the ways issues can manifest themselves: -‘Resistance’ to inclusive actions -Fragility and defensiveness -Early adopters becoming frustrated -Resistant folk becoming intrenched -‘Not wanting to say the wrong thing’ -‘Opt out’ and affinity groups forming Do you see this in your organisation? Have you put any strategies in place to prevent polarisation in your organisation? If you would like some support in dealing with resistance or a slowing in your inclusion strategy, get in touch. https://buff.ly/3DIPYwJ #equitydiversityinclusion #arts #artsandculture #leadership #inclusionleadership #inclusionmatters #theatre #dance #music #diversity #hr #training #education #onlinetraining #learning #inclusion #equity #diversity

This short video is a poetic demonstration about what Allyship is not. Allyship is a lifelong process of building and nurturing supportive relationships with underrepresented, marginalized, or discriminated individuals or groups with the aim of advancing inclusion. It is NOT stepping in and speaking “for” the group in which you do not belong. When we do that, we further alienate and reduce their power. It is a fine line between speaking up, speak on behalf of, and speaking instead of. Let’s be mindful not to take someone’s voice in an attempt to be supportive. Instead, invite voices to the table and don’t replace them with your own. Makes spaces for other voices to speak and be heard and be respected. That’s the definition of inclusion. Now, check out the video.

Explore Inclusion! We know through extensive research that the key to effectively nurturing the potential of all people in play is dependent on inclusion. An inclusive recreation space is one of the best things a community can do for people. Inclusive play and recreation simply means no one is left out, and everyone-of all ages and abilities- can play to the greatest extent possible. A great inclusive space is more than just choosing products-the design should be based on validated, scholarly research, carefully considered products, and ultimately celebrate the voice of the community. At PlayCore/GameTime and DWA Recreation , we've conducted more inclusive research, designed more inclusive products, and helped create more happy, successful inclusive community stories. Be one of them. https://lnkd.in/gkpUa9Td

We love to talk of Diversity and inclusion, equality, and having people-friendly policies, but some miss it out consciously. I had gone to see a play. The theater of course has its policy of snacks, WATER, & cold drinks not allowed in the auditorium. I understand not allowing snacks or cold drinks - but water is an absolute need. The play had no interval. For a 1 hour 50 minutes of the play, one has to go without water. Some senior citizens and people may need to constantly sip water. Where are we as a nation going with this? Theater owners/ cinema houses must take into account this aspect. Drinking water is a need and not a luxury.
