Inclusive Cultures is a four-month disabled-led professional development programme designed for cultural leaders seeking to take steps towards systemic change. This learning opportunity is for individuals who are ready to deepen and broaden their competence and give them the courage to contribute to inclusive culture making and disability justice. The programme draws on Inclusive Leadership theories and practice, and the lived experiences of D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people/communities, and uses coaching techniques to inform both thinking and action.
Programme Details
The 2025 Inclusive Cultures programme included:
Four morning seminars exploring the following topics:
- The latest research on shaping fearless, psychologically safe, and caring practices for individuals, organisations, and projects.
- The Social Model as a tool, the colonial roots in ableism, the experience of disablism and the implications of these things.
- Spaces, places, and intersectional perspectives, including hierarchies of need, power dynamics, and sharing, caring, and distribution of power.
- Solutions presented by our leaders, shaping a dynamic and inclusive leadership framework for the future.
Additionally, the programme included four afternoon small-group action learning/coaching sessions, where participants engage with a coach to delve into the seminar content, employ action learning methodologies, explore solutions collectively, and activate their learning effectively.
