Wheelworks Arts Launches ChangeMaker: A New Approach to EDI Training
2nd Oct 2023
In an ever-evolving world, diversity and inclusion have become integral aspects of the modern workplace. Companies are not only expected to meet legal requirements regarding equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) but are also encouraged to foster environments where everyone feels valued and respected. Wheelworks Arts recognises this need and is proud to announce the launch of “ChangeMaker”, a groundbreaking approach to EDI training.
As awareness of EDI concepts continues to grow, organizations are realizing the importance of not merely checking boxes but actively striving to create inclusive workplaces that enhance productivity and employee satisfaction. ChangeMaker represents a fresh perspective on EDI training, bringing together art and coaching techniques to facilitate a deeper understanding of EDI principles.
ChangeMaker: A Unique Approach to EDI Training
ChangeMaker is a pioneering programme designed to inspire change within organizations by addressing perceptions, stereotypes, and misconceptions, while also promoting an understanding of the values, heritage, biases, and experiences of others. What sets ChangeMaker apart is its innovative use of art as a means of introspection and self-discovery, within the framework of professional coaching.
The programme is facilitated by two industry professionals who combine their expertise to guide participants on a transformative journey. Through a series of carefully curated exercises and discussions, ChangeMaker encourages participants to explore their own biases and assumptions, as well as the unintentional and often unchallenged perspectives that may shape their daily interactions.
Why Choose ChangeMaker?
– Transformative Learning. ChangeMaker offers a unique blend of art, coaching, and self-reflection that goes beyond traditional EDI training. It challenges participants to delve deep into their own beliefs, unconscious biases and perceptions, leading to meaningful personal and professional growth.
– Inclusivity in Action. Rather than focusing solely on theory, ChangeMaker provides practical tools and strategies for fostering inclusivity within the workplace. It equips participants with the knowledge and skills needed to promote diversity and inclusion actively.
– Engaging and Interactive. ChangeMaker’s art-based approach makes learning fun and engaging. Participants can expect a dynamic and interactive experience that encourages open dialogue and a sense of community.
