Intercultural Competence and Anti-racism Training
Free
Culture and ethnicity influence what organisations and businesses choose to teach, what knowledge is valued, what skills will be used, their ethics and ultimately how much potential they are able to unlock within their teams. Our courses explore the current ethnic diversity and antiracism discussion in a safe environment. They equip participants with tools for growth, development and sustainability in the ever growing ethnically diverse economy.
According to the Equalities and Human Rights Committee, report “Race Equality, Employment and Skills: Making Progress?” published in November 2020, there have been several reports, a Government Race Equality Framework supported by an Action Plan and even academic research ‘all aimed at tackling institutional racism and improving equality for minority ethnic people’ in Scotland over two decades. However, although there has been some progress, ‘the Committee’s evidence shows that progress has either been slow, stalled, or in the case of the ethnicity employment gap gone backwards’.
The above mentioned EHRC report found that many organisations have a policy to cover them, however ‘what is often missing is the training to underpin the policy’ so that employees are able to address racism and develop inclusive practices in an environment where those in positions of power are enabled to lead the necessary change.
We provide a suite of Anti-racism and Intercultural Competence services from which organisations are able to choose the most appropriate considering their timescale and budget available to meet the Diversity and Inclusion needs. Programs are designed to provide training and consultative support for organisations/businesses to develop and understand structures and systems in order to achieve their agenda with specific emphasis on diversity of ethnicity and anti-racism in the workplace.
Services include one on one consultation, organisational support as well as team training courses. Courses apply a participatory approach in a shared learning experience. In a workshop setting with individuals from Black and Minority Ethnic Communities, participants take part in honest, lively and interactive sessions through which they are able to critically analyse information and relate it to their daily working lives as well as personal experiences. Training is delivered in one of two ways:
Bespoke Intercultural competence and Anti-racism Training
This is bespoke training delivered to suit the current needs of your organisation. We deliver tailor made courses which look at the nature of the organisation, offering an insight into the diversity needs and/or agenda of any organisation looking to expand the understanding of ethnic diversity within their work force. Courses include insights and experiences of individuals from racialised communities and are delivered online or face to face (where appropriate).
Organisations also have the opportunity to select the most relevant of our standard courses. All courses are interactive and participants are challenged to reconsider perceptions and unconscious bias while gaining a better understanding of cultural sensitivities.
