Walking the Walk – Allyship in Action – In Person by Azaria Francis and Helen Fuller
Do not miss out on the opportunity to experience this face to face. It’s easy to support the idea of allyship, but how do you put it into practice? In this session we will look at being an ally and moving from talking the talk, to actively walking the walk. Remembering that we all have power and privilege in different situations, we will look at how someone in a position of privilege can effectively use who they are, to advocate for change and promote the voices of minority groups. The benefit of being face to face is being able to have those additional conversations together, learn from each other, have the opportunity to clarify and ask questions.
This session will be delivered in English. BSL/English Interpreters will be provided.
