Testimonials

The workshop we had left us pondering a lot, and it made a lot of things clear as well. Especially the lack of inclusivity when it comes to neurodiverse individuals in our organization, even though it is a big part of our organizational ethos. We finally have a member in our advisory committee who is now helping us with giving the programmes and training we are implementing from a neurodiverse perspective, and it has made our implementation so much better. Secondly, I am in the process of reviewing the website as well, so that we don't use the words that show lack of empathy and inclusivity.

Abilities Ignite Education Foundation

The workshops helped us reflect on our values and collective needs as a team. We were able to strengthen our existing values alignment and identify gaps for organizational strengthening particularly in governance and structure. Need of feminist policies and TORs, Right to Information form, Empathy & Understanding were the most meaningful aspects.
