We define the intersecting pillars of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion as race, gender, sexuality, disability, neurodiversity, socioeconomic background, caregiving, age, religion, mental health and age.
During the course, we explore power with vs power over, intersectionality, psychological safety, our own internalised biases (white supremacy, ableism, internalised misogyny), collective action and co-design.
All of the principles taught can be applied across any communication campaign. However, each cohort will have a “campaign focus” and will take place in the run-up to a major awareness-raising month or day.
For every 10 full-paying cohort member, we offer 1 free scholarship for an underrepresented changemaker looking to start their career in marketing, communication or media.
Why? Because to build authentic and impactful campaigns we need an industry that is as diverse as its audience.
During the application, you will be asked if you would like to apply for the scholarship.
We will notify you if a place becomes available.
