Join us to explore key findings from our Intersectional Monitoring pilot and gain practical insights from peers on advancing intersectional inclusion in our sector. 

Understanding and dismantling structural barriers to inclusion

In 2022, FAIR SHARE started a process to explore what intersectional monitoring could look like in the social impact sector. At the core of this undertaking was the understanding that for monitoring to be a truly effective tool for change, it must be able to capture the various forms of inequities that push people to the margins. Guided by a working group of experts, this exploration resulted in recommendations for monitoring practices that are reflective of intersectionality principles and responsive to the needs of marginalised communities.

Earlier this year, we launched an intersectional monitoring pilot tool to put into practice recommendations from the intersectional monitoring exploration process. With this pilot, our aim was to experiment with a tool that the social impact sector could use to identify and address the structural barriers that hinder inclusion. As a result, rather than centring data collection on marginalised communities, the tool focused on examining underlying systems and practices that perpetuate exclusion, or conversely, foster inclusion within organisations.

We are excited to convene our community on Wednesday 20 May, from 15:00 to 16:45 CEST to explore FAIR SHARE’s first intersectional monitoring findings and exchange on how our sector can better promote inclusion and equity. Register now!

During this virtual event, you will:

  • Explore key insights from our Intersectional Monitoring pilot
  • Learn from peer organisations as they share best practices, challenges and opportunities for building inclusive and equitable structures and cultures
  • Engage in shared learning by contributing your questions, reflections and lessons on advancing intersectional inclusion in our sector.

The detailed programme is outlined below.

Programme

15:00 - 15:10 | Welcome & settling in
15:10 - 15:45 | Findings from our Intersectional Monitoring pilot

A snapshot of the project and the pilot’s key findings, followed by an interactive Q&A session.

15:45 - 16:30 | Peer learning exchange

A space for organisations to share practices, challenges, lessons learned and opportunities for advancing intersectional equity and inclusion within their structures. Together, we will explore questions such as:  

  • How can organisations collect sensitive demographic data from their staff? 
  • What mechanisms do large organisations use to capture employees’ lived experiences and support the development of an inclusive organisational culture?
  • How do small, emerging organisations embed equity and inclusion in their growing structures? 
16:30 - 16:40 | What we've learned from this process

Short reflection from the Intersectional Monitoring team on key learnings from the process and how they can inform future monitoring action.

Closing reflections and appreciation for participants.

Featured guests

We’re pleased to welcome sector leaders and practitioners as they share lessons, reflections and insights from their intersectional equity and inclusion journeys.
