About METRO Training

Each training session is designed to engage attendees and develop organisational approaches that encourage inclusivity and celebrate diversity. The training content, discussions and activities help equip participants with the knowledge, resources and tools they need. Our sessions are carefully curated to support a practical and achievable approach to enhancing inclusion.

METRO training encourages an intersectional approach to inclusion that acknowledges the ways in which our interrelating, diverse identities effect our experiences in the world. The training offers a supportive space where participants are able to expand and update their individual knowledge, facilitated by experienced and well-informed trainers.
