Belonging Summer School Opens July 25!
Many of our most loyal Belonging Community Members requested summer programming, and we listened! From Tuesday, July 25 - Thursday, July 27, the Belonging Summer School opens, and we saved your seat!
One week from today our inaugural Belonging Summer School opens, and runs live from Tuesday, July 25 through Thursday, July 27.
You are invited, and encouraged to bring a friend or a colleague, where you’ll have the opportunity to engage in daily live events beginning at 11 am Pacific/ 2 pm Eastern.
Over the past few weeks, we have gathered many FAQs, and we wanted to share our responses here in the event that you too had similar questions.
Why are you hosting this event?
After we announced this year’s Belonging at Work Summit would be moved form July to November, a number of people asked this question:
My employer doesn’t offer a professional development budget, and I was counting on learning more about how to advance my company’s DEIB goals at the Belonging at Work Summit, usually hosted in July. Will any other programming be offered this summer?
Recognizing some of the very real obstacles we DEIB professionals and inclusive leaders are up against, we knew it was important to have space to support each other.
It’s for this reason our Belonging Summer School was created. We wanted to be there for others relying on us this July, leading up to the Belonging Summit.
Who is invited to attend?
The Belonging Summer School was created for senior executives, DEIB professionals, ERG members, along with other workplace culture influencers.
We designed a special Belonging Foundations Assessment to gauge where each attendee is at on their DEIB learning journeys.
You will have a chance to explore your results on July 27 during the Belonging Learner webinar, and you’ll gain resources to enhance your inclusive leadership skills.
Where will the event be hosted?
This 3-day, virtual gathering will take kick off on Tuesday, July 25. Similar to the Belonging at Work Summit, a daily access email will be sent after you enroll.
You can enroll anytime between now and July 27 to take advantage of the during Summer School rates.
If you enroll in hopes of receiving recordings after July 27, you can still receive these recordings; however, do note that prices double after the end of the event.
How do I enroll?
There are three easy ways to enroll (see image below). Our standard admission is $97 and will give you access to incredible DEIB learning & development content!
You may also take this assessment, purchase a custom Belonging Foundations package that meets your needs, and automatically receive FREE admission.
…and if you are a current Belonging Community Member, you receive 20% off of our Summer School enrollment fee (a savings of $20).
What if I’m out of town or have limited time to participate?
If, after reviewing your calendar, you realized you’re out of town, or your work week is particularly busy, don’t worry about it. We have your back!
For anyone who enrolls using 1 of the above 3 methods, you will receive recordings + participant workbooks similar to the Belonging Summit after Summer School ends.
The recordings, transcripts, audio files, and workbooks are outstanding resources that will help you apply all that you learn, building your knowledge, skills, and confidence.
What’s on the agenda?
From Tuesday, July 25 through Thursday, July 27, we will gather in our virtual learning community for daily, live events. We will cover the following core topics:
Identify Your DEIB Avatar. Access a framework to apply targeted universalism, and accelerate your workplace’s DEIB goals.
Know Your Audience. Gain skills to find fellow Belonging Champions, inspire those apathetic to your workplace’s DEIB goals, and neutralize those resistant.
The Belonging Learner. Assess your current position on the broader DEIB learning journey, and make meaning out of your results.
All sessions will run for 60 minutes, facilitated by Rhodes Perry, and an optional 60 minutes will be set aside for a guest speaker and audience Q&A.
All participants are encouraged to bring real examples from your own DEIB experiences, along with your knowledge to spark dynamic conversations.
Is the Belonging Summer School the same as the Belonging Foundations?
No. The Belonging Foundations is a self-paced learning program amplifying key interviews from the past Belonging at Work Summits.
This customized learning program was created to help you with key DEIB essentials at every level of your journey as you develop and grow your inclusive leadership skills.
The Belonging Summer School is a 3-day virtual learning experience where Team Belonging will deliver daily webinars & facilitate dialogue.
On the last day, attendees will learn more about how to interpret results from the this assessment, and get connected with a customized Belonging Foundations package.
