Building a Future World Where DEI Leads

Description

Many DEI advocates around the world are mobilizing to help ensure that diversity, equity and inclusion are strong forces in the world’s future. There is concern that if DEI practitioners and others don’t become more future-fluent and serve as activists and change agents to influence our global future that other forces will take the lead.

To help ensure a future where DEI leads, The Centre for Global Inclusion and The FutureWork Institute have embarked on a DEI Futures Initative to determine actions we can take now to positively influence our future. More than 150 people have been involved in determining actions we can take individually and collectively to lead our future.

This session will both inform you on progress to date and welcome your ideas and plans to join in a global effort to ensure DEI is an influential force in our future. Four presenters who have been actively involved in the DEI Futures Initiative will facilitate this discussion by sharing highlights of our thinking and learning, and engaging participants in discussion on ways to increase our influence. Others involved in the Initiative will facilitate table group discussions.
