Fairness and Diversity
NIE wants to ensure that social justice and inclusivity are at the heart of all we do.
- – At NIE we believe in playful stories that connect us all.
- – NIE wants to empower artists and young people through our work.
- – Story is the means to empower. Story is a means to tell and share experience with a wider audience. Story is a means for change.
We recognise how privilege and bias contribute to structural racism and strive to take action to address inequality, exclusion and racism. We do this through the application of company policy, practice and values.
We have been interrogating ourselves as an organisation on what we can do better and how we can become more proactively inclusive, representative and fair. This has led us to articulate core values questions. We use these to examine our programme, recruitment and casting, policies, choices, words and actions.
These are:
- – How is the project / programme / casting / recruitment representative of the diversity of our community? Our context? Our country?
- – How is it Inclusive? Fair? Accessible?
- – How are the audience / participants acknowledged and included?
- – How will the project foster Belonging?
- – How is this project sustainable?
