Beyond DEI: Embedding Anticolonialism into Strategy
Root your strategy in equity, values, and real-world insight.
July 17th - August 14th
A transformative workshop series for nonprofits, corporations, foundations, and social impact leaders ready to plan from the inside out.
About This Workshop
Beyond DEI is a four-part workshop series equips people to move beyond performative diversity efforts by embedding anticolonial principles into strategy. Uniquely combining principles of strategy design with an explicit anti-colonial framework we will work to re-align our heartset, mindset and skillset to reset the ways that we operate. The workshops will provide participants with a framework for analysis to apply in their work and practical tools to incorporate decolonized approaches into their work.
The result: Participants have a clear roadmap toward strategies that challenge narratives of domination, extraction, and exploitation in organizational contexts.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will:
—Understand how anti-colonial frameworks expand justice efforts beyond the limitations of traditional DEI and strategic planning approaches.
—Interrogate their relationships to existing colonial structures and frameworks.
—Identify their role(s) in driving meaningful narrative change to shift behavior.
—Develop a principles-led approach to strategy and an action plan that advances anti-colonialism and justice within our spheres of influence.
