· Developing strength through diversity ·
The Change Agency has started a monthly "liberation book club", which is a "monthly discussion of anti-oppression ideas and practices". This month the topic is Developing Strength Through Diversity.
You can download the June book club reading (a chapter from the book Grassroots and Nonprofit Leadership) from The Change Agency's website and discuss it with your colleagues. Or there are other ways you can take part, including on the forum (email Holly if you want access to the forum - her email is at the bottom of the page).
The book club began with a discussion about anti-oppression work. Holly asks: "What would it take to have activist groups and social change organisations which genuinely reflect the diversity in the broader community? To be actively inclusive of difference?"
Great question. This is one of the many questions we've been asking ourselves all year on the Sydney Leadership program. If only there were more answers!
See you on the forum :)
