Inclusive Leadership Training
Offered as part of the QMSU Skills Award, Inclusive Leadership Training is designed for students in/going into positions of leadership. We provide a framework for personal development in leadership and the chance to create an action plan to put into practise their new inclusive leadership skills.
The workshop focuses on four topics:
- Communication & boundaries
- Consent culture (sexual violence and harassment)
- Inclusion & belonging
- Supporting & reporting
This session will be run by Beyond Equality, a UK charity specialising in challenging groups and individuals to be an active part of the conversations around diversity, equity & inclusion.
1-5pm, Bancroft 3.22, Mile End. You must register for the QMSU Skills award to attend this training.
