Join the Small and Emerging Practice representative for Yorkshire, Paul Wainwright, on Thursday 21 March at 1pm for a captivating online session featuring the esteemed equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) luminary, Kudzai Matsvai.
About the session
From the language we use to the way we think, EDI must become ingrained in the day-to-day workings of architectural practices to ensure that we are cultivating a long-lasting culture of inclusion within the profession.
EDI stands as a cornerstone in fostering environments where every individual feels valued and empowered. Such learning not only cultivates awareness of biases and prejudices but also instills the skills needed to dismantle systemic barriers and promote equality. EDI training fosters a culture of respect, understanding, and belonging, which is fundamental for attracting and retaining talent from diverse backgrounds.
This session will give attendees a comprehensive overview to EDI praxis in architectural practice, providing starting points and resources for those just beginning their EDI journey.
This is a friendly, sociable meetup for RIBA Members to share experiences and learn from others on a range of topics and issues.
