FIST Fest
Inclusion is often spoken about more than it is practised. Most organizations believe in it, but may not actually see its benefits unless they have experienced it personally. This event aims to make inclusion a lived experience and help people see the joys of being inclusive as a way of life!
A talent show making Inclusion a Lived Experience!
This unique event has been conceptualized with the core intention of impacting ALL the participants and their organizations. The focus is on getting stakeholders to have conversations around the core theme of the event which is INCLUSION, while they enjoy the journey towards planning and preparing for this event.
Interfacing while practising a performance is an assured way for groups to make inclusion a lived experience!
That’s where the real impact will happen and through the ripple effect it will percolate across the organization as they will be talking about the unique idea/concept of the show and then they will gather to cheer their performers on the final day. Though it’s the presentation that will finally win the award for the organizations, the film on inclusion will be just as important and counted for the final points being calculated.
The deep impact of this event is to shift the paradigm from “talking inclusion” to “being inclusive” and making it a reality!
