Since 2018, BIFA has been providing Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training courses to organisations and individuals from across the screen industries. This Inclusivity in the Workplace training aims to give screen industry professionals the tools to create a psychologically safe workplace environment where diverse individuals can flourish.
WED 1 OCtober, 12-1.30pm – online
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
This course will provide participants with the knowledge and skills required to minimise the impact of unconscious bias across all parts of the industry. Using real-life examples to interrogate the ways in which unconscious bias and privilege manifest within film and TV, the course aims to ensure that all participants leave with the practical tools required to reduce the effects of personal and organisational unconscious bias.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the concept of unconscious bias and its impact on behaviour and decision making at work, creative commissioning and networks and contacts
- Understand the bi-directional relationship between unconscious bias and the media
- Describe the relationship between implicit association, unconscious bias, language, stereotypes, attitudes and behaviour
- Outline the meaning and impact of systemic oppression and the discuss the potential of the screen industries in deconstructing it
- Challenge processes and language which leave organisational practices anddecision making vulnerable to unconscious bias
