Making Sense of Allyship

Allies are people who want to create safer, more inclusive spaces where everyone has the chance to thrive. In this session, we will explore what allyship is, why it is important, and gain a better understanding of allyship behaviours. We will interrogate knowledge and education; how we know what we know and why we might not know what we don't know.

This is intended to help all of us reflect on the influences we have and the impact we make as educators.
