Description
About Allyship in the workplace
Allyship is increasingly regarded as a critical stepping stone in creating an inclusive workplace. But what does Allyship mean and look like in practice? This 90-minute session is designed to answer these questions. Delivered through the lens of intersectionality, attendees will work independently and through group discussions to develop a shared understanding of Allyship. Attendees will also hear from panel of contributors from a cross section of diverse groups who will share simple actions that people can take to become allies to their colleagues, including from marginalised communities, and enhance a culture of inclusion at work.
Confirmed panellists for session are: Antonia Lines, Diversity Project Manager at Come Play With Me and Ben Price, Founder and Artist Manager at Harbourside Artist Management. The event is directed by DiVA founder and BPI Equity & Justice Advisory Group (EJAG) member Arit Eminue. You can read more about our contributors below!
Allyship requires a collective effort; therefore, the workshop is designed for employees at all levels, irrespective of seniority.
This free event is open to all BPI and AIM members as well as to other music industry associates.
Zoom details will be sent out to ticket holders 24 hours befor the event.
