THE ALLEYNIAN 708 | OUT OF THE ORDINARY
WELLBEING
Charles Bird (Year 12) and Nathalie Whittington explain the thinking behind the new venture O ur aim in organising the awareness month was to explore variety, acceptance and respect. We wanted to acknowledge the breadth of cultures, races, sexualities and experiences found within the College, and to enable the spiritual, intellectual and emotional distinctions between us to flourish. In making our own badges we ‘underpinned’ the idea of respect, equality and individuality in our community; undertaking the traditionally female art of sewing helped us challenge gender stereotypes. Discussions on themes from unconscious bias to diversity in the workplace, author talks and a shared DC IAM playlist were just some of the features of the month’s events and activities.
