Our Four Level Framework

Individual

We begin on a personal level. We offer human-centred self-awareness and growth. Through understanding their own identities and experiences, individuals become empowered to contribute positively to their communities and workplaces.

Relationships

We extend our focus to communities and cultural contexts by facilitating dialogues, trainings, and informative events. we nurture a sense of belonging and understanding among different groups, which activates the groundwork for systemic change.

System

At the systemic level, we work with organisations to develop strategies that embed intersectional principles into their operations. This includes redefining organisational structures, improving processes, and ensuring equitable opportunities for all.

Policies

Sustainability requires accountability. We collaborate with policymakers and stakeholders to embed laws and guidelines that uphold fairness and inclusivity, ensuring that intersectional values are enshrined at the highest levels.
