Inclusion is something that needs the engagement of one’s head and heart. While workshops help to think rationally about the need for organisations to become more diverse and inclusive, true change happens only when there has been an emotional connect to the subject. Inspired by theatre, poetry and storytelling, Interweave’s new vertical, Art for Inclusion hopes to heighten awareness and inspire more sustainable action for individual and collective change.

The first in this series is Un-Box.

This 90 minute experience is designed to open up one’s mind on gender and gender based biases. The session will invite participants to look into their own lives, professional and personal, to identify conscious and subconscious biases. These “Slice of life” scenarios will nudge the audience to introspect and arrive at what could be more equitable ways of living and working together.

Technology assisted programs offer the advantage of cost, time and reach. Curated content and guidance by subject matter experts who offer a valuable combination of advanced thought leadership and practical solutions are a great way to equip organisations which are looking at large scale interventions.

We are completely open to exploring technology when it comes to delivering the message of inclusion. Interweave uses path-breaking tools to directly deliver the value of inclusion to the employees. Ideal for organisations that are spread across dispersed locations our webinar and eLearning courses are easy for all employees to access irrespective of their technical expertise. These can be delivered through company-owned platforms or through the pay-per-use platforms of Interweave.

We would be delighted to speak with you to recommend and customize the content so that it fits in with your specific requirements. Click here to schedule a call.

These are a series of innovative and interactive workshops customised to explore broader topics in the area of diversity and inclusion. Delivered in bite-sized modules and rotated around the year, these help to keep the message of diversity and inclusion fresh and current in the minds of employees. They are great for demonstrating the organisation’s  commitment to this very important initiative.

These 90-120 minute modules can be delivered as presentations, workshops, roundtables, or “lunch & learns” where participants can incorporate their personal experiences into the conversation.

Here is a list of indicative programs we offer:

Inspire – Dialogues with leadership

Structured interactive experiences or panel discussions with senior leaders, trail blazers, inspirational professionals from diverse backgrounds in a safe and respectful learning environment.

Tell us more! An opportunity to meet and explore specific aspects of diversity – gender, generational, people with disabilities, LGBT, personality types etc based on the organisation’s interest/focus.

Managing the Multigenerational Workforce – Defines and explains the generations at work in the Indian context and the challenges in managing them. It explores the most likely areas of potential conflict and what each group can do to adapt and be more effective at work.

LGBT initiatives – Gender is not binary, but a continuum. Trans, transgendered, transsexual refers to gender identity. There are also colleagues with differing sexual orientation. In a unique and powerful way, participants will engage intensely in an exploration of stereotypes, biases and prejudices and learn to address them without blame or guilt.

Personality types – Focused primarily on appreciating introversion and extroversion, this workshop is designed to help participants appreciate different personality types, the opportunities and challenges that will apply, and introduce strategies to collaborate seamlessly and effectively across these personality types

At Interweave we speak to the broader spectrum. Gender fluidity, identity, expression, and sexual orientation as an integral part of our gender competence training.

LGBT Inclusion – Making Way for All is the first ever e-module on LGBT+ inclusion in India. The module builds awareness on understanding the unique challenges for the LGBT+ community and talks of how we can be allies to their safe and easy inclusion into our lives. With the help of real-life cases, the learner is guided through the subject, starting from understanding what LGBT+ stands for to appreciating the unique challenges for the community, with a very specific focus on what we can do to hasten social acceptance and build a safe and inclusive environment for all.

This 30-minute self-paced module is SCORM compliant and can be customized for an “in-company” feel with an introductory message from the CEO/Sponsor and links into the company’s intranet resources and content. The e-module is available for use as an enterprise-wide license to cover all employees across the organization.
