About This Workshop

Beyond DEI is a five-part workshop series offered across five weeks, designed to support participants in embedding anticolonial principles into strategy and everyday practice. Grounded in strategy design and an explicitly anticolonial framework, we will work to realign heartset, mindset, and skillset in how we operate and make decisions.

Across the five sessions, participants will learn a framework for anticolonial analysis and practical tools to bring decolonized approaches into their work.

The result: a clear pathway for developing strategies that resist domination, extraction, and exploitation in organizational contexts.

Learning Objectives:

This workshop series helps participants:

  • Learn to identify liberal, colonial and capital logics

  • Approach strategic thinking thru justice-aligned principles

  • Strengthen our internal clarity and strategic imagination

  • Build anticolonial practices and approaches.

  • “HIGHLY recommend this opportunity to learn together. Naaima Khan has prepared a rich set of content and frames for engaging with and moving principles into practice. A genuinely valuable offering!”

    Melissa

  • “A space for deep conversation and learning together!”

    Antonia

  • "One of the most valuable aspects of this workshop series was the focus on language and framing- defining terms, understanding how they fit together, becoming more aware of how commonly used words in the non-profit and evaluation sectors can perpetuate colonial ideals, and exploring alternatives to build a future that centers solidarity."

    Melanie

  • “Learning and practicing anticolonial principles is an essential step toward the future we all want and deserve. But where to begin, right? It can be daunting if you’re unsure of the terrain or worrying about doing it wrong or even where to begin. Naaima is a thoughtful and generous guide to well-sourced research and practice that helps ground and provide multiple pathways into this work. And it’s relevant for wherever you might sit in the sector (in my case as a consultant). The four-part series left me both informed and inspired to continue this learning journey alongside colleagues and clients. I feel like I’ve come away from this workshop with a set of keys that can help me unlock all kinds of ways of thinking and doing differently."

How it works

This workshop is structured as five modules over a five-week period, allowing space for learning, reflection, and application between sessions.

Module 1: Heartset

What are the underlying beliefs, values and assumptions that impact our intentions in this work?

Module 2: Mindset

What are the key narratives that inform our worldview about others, about the land, about ourselves and how can we use narrative work as a lever for change?

Module 3/4: Skillset

What do we currently assume about the way we use our skills? What are specific tools that we can employ differently to work toward different types of results?

Module 5: Reset

How do we apply a principles-led approach to build bolder strategies within your organizations and efforts?
