Pathway 1: Identity
This pathway consists of two core modules:
-
Organisational Identity, Culture & Ethics
-
Social Constructivism, Identity & Belonging
The overall learning outcome from this pathway is to provide delegates with a critical understanding of individual and organisational identity. It explores concepts like Individual, Intertwined, Intersectional and Global Identities and seeks to engage delegates in critical learning on how identities are formed, shaped and influenced. Fundamentally, learning from this module is positioned against the concept of organisational Diversity & Inclusion so delegates can better understand how individual actions and notions of equality, equity & justice can shape distinct personal and corporate identities. The broad principles discussed in this pathway will also be related the protected characteristics as per the Equalities Act (2010).

The overall learning outcome from this pathway is to engage delegates in a critical understanding of Race, Faith & Gender in contemporary society. The modules in this pathway position the current social context against a broad historical understanding of Race, Faith & Gender. They engage delegates in critical discussions on subject areas like Race & Racism, Whiteness in Society, White Power, Secular Modernity, Organisational Secularism, Gendered Roles, Gender (in)Equality and Toxic Masculinity.
