Being Inclusive is different to being included. We can be included, but still feel on the outside because the environment doesn’t take into consideration what is important to us and/or relate to our individual culture and background. Building a truly inclusive culture doesn’t happen by ticking a box, it can only happen when at an individual level we are open to be educated and challenged, which ultimately drives a collective change.
