Join us for this session tailored to students in performing arts colleges and conservatories. Participants will develop an understanding and awareness of how unconscious bias works, the impact it could have on the work they do, their interactions and approach, and will learn strategies to help reduce its negative impact.

“Thought provoking and genuine. Didn’t give in to the temptation to tick boxes or be idealistic.”
Our Unconscious Bias training is designed for students training at performing arts colleges and conservatoires. The session assumes no pre-existing level of knowledge, and will provide participants with a clear understanding of what unconscious bias is, the impact it can have on how they make choices and interact with one another, and the overall role it can play in their approach towards professional life.
Participants are guided through a structured process of thinking around how unconscious bias can begin to be addressed, providing tools and actionable ‘takeaways’ so they can start making progress immediately in their training.
