Diverse educators: Inclusive allyship toolkit (Educator / Leader)
The Importance of Language
At Diverse Educators we use the umbrella term Inclusive Allyship. As Educators, we feel that this is most representative of what we do in our sector. However if this term does not resonate with you and you would like to consider alternatives, here are some options and definitions to explore:
Allyship
Allyship is about recognising your privilege, and then using it by standing in solidarity with marginalised groups to challenge the status quo. It involves working through discomfort, listening, and learning from mistakes.
Accomplice
In the context of race and social justice work, an accomplice is someone who assists others in creating a space of inclusion, equity, and safety for all, often at the risk of their own social and/or professional standing and physical well-being.
Coalition
A coalition is when people agree to work together, in partnership to achieve a common goal. Coalition builders in the inclusion context believe that allyship offers charity whereas coalition is more about solidarity and identifying those shared points of interest.
Additional information
This toolkit was Toolkit collated by Hannah Wilson, Founder, Director, Lead Trainer and Lead Coach and Adrian McLean Associate Trainer and Coach of Diverse Educators
