Watching our film is a great way to help your child understand inclusion and opportunity, and its value in the workplace. It looks at racial equality with a particular focus on black employees and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The film talks about practical actions and behaviours we can all adopt to encourage an inclusive society, and help start useful conversations about equality and inclusion when applying for jobs.
Here’s a few questions to get a conversation started:
- Who might be affected by inclusion and opportunity issues?
- What are the benefits that this brings to a business?
- What is a micro-aggression and examples of it?
- What impacts might micro-aggressions have on employees?
- What is unconscious bias?
- How can unconscious bias have an impact on us at work?
- What is a micro-affirmation?
- How can micro-affirmations help prevent bias?
This is a though provoking topic that your child may be aware of through the news and social media. They may want to start campaigning for positive change and the end of the film shows them how they can champion inclusion and opportunity in their school, work or personal life.
