EDI Changemakers Training Course
Designing, Planning, and Delivering Effective EDI Training and Initiatives
This advanced course is tailored specifically for individuals who have already completed our Train the Trainer, EDI Champions courses, or are EDI Leaders and are actively engaged in supporting their organisations to embed EDI into everyday practice.
This course is not just about words; it’s about action. We aim to empower delegates to design, plan, and deliver impactful EDI initiatives that are proactive, inclusive, and transformative.
The course will challenge participants to consider and integrate critical concepts such as intersectionality, power, privilege, mentoring, and mediation into their EDI strategies. Building on the foundational FREDDIE principles, this course will equip you with the tools and approaches needed to create meaningful change within your organisations.
Course Overview
The EDI Change Marker course is an interactive, one-day programme designed to provide advanced EDI practitioners with the skills and knowledge necessary to take their training and organisational initiatives to the next level.
Participants will engage in a series of interactive sessions that focus on practical application, critical reflection, and collaborative learning.

Within your role you will, at times, be required to challenge others' behaviour because you think it is potentially discriminatory; there are some attitudes, language and behaviours that are unacceptable: e.g. racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, disablist, ageist. This course prepares you to have those courageous conversations.
