Training and Workshops

We run a series of courses aimed to meet the different needs of participants. We recommend that you begin by attending the one-day Welcoming diversity and prejudice reduction workshop. If this leaves you feeling that you would like to develop your skills and knowledge a little further, you could attend our three-day Prejudice reduction leaders’ training, which will enhance what you learnt at the one-day workshop.

Attending the three courses will also give you the skills necessary to cascade your learning to others, either at your place of work or in your community. Where necessary, NCBI can support you to cascade the training.
