This module explores what decolonisation looks like in programmes by identifying actions, behaviours and communications that support colonial world views. Practical approaches to changes in programmes will be explored. The module provides a space to reflect on your own organisation and examine practical ways to lead by example. It provides a foundation to begin difficult conversations about race and the on-going colonial approaches in humanitarian and international development work.
Module Aim: To evaluate how current practices, programmes and/or structures may reflect and/or proliferate colonial views; to examine how to lead change processes that can support decolonising through programme design, delivery and management.
Module Objectives:

- Examine practical approaches to instigate change and shift the power within your programmes.
- Plan and role play challenging conversations about race, identity and power.
