About the Course

No matter who we are, we all have opportunities to demonstrate allyship. In this interactive session we will explore what it means to be an ally to people from marginalised groups. What are our responsibilities? What roadblocks do we encounter in committing to those responsibilities, and how can they be overcome? Participants will have a chance to discuss these questions in depth, while building tools, principles and approaches that can be utilised in their practice moving forwards.
