Making Sense of Allyship

All Techne students are required to register for either this online webinar or the second term version which will run on 20 February 2026. 

Please note that we will be following up with any students who fail to attend both versions of this mandatory webinar.

This session is designed to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of allyship in academic and professional relationships. It will involve a mixture of activities for interactive engagement and levels of accessibility.

This session introduces the concept of allyship and what it means to be an ally; someone promoting social change with communities outside of their own. It will bring together the group's collective expertise and experiences as a catalyst for further self-reflection, development, and informed, affirmative actions. 

The session will include:
•    How to Make the Most of this Session. Introductions and managing expectations
•    Why allyship? Exploring the contributing factors to battle fatigue
•    What is allyship? What it isn't. Focus on self-development and action, whilst addressing tokenism, performative or gesture allyship.
•    Allyship Actions: How to Utilise Identified Resources to Explore the Practical and Research Applications of Allyship and Anti-Oppressive Practices.
