We run an event series called the SJC Circle, which provides a regular space for those committed to anti-oppression, social justice and EDI to come together to learn, heal, grow, share wisdom and take action.

The SJC Circle is online even that is divided into two main parts: a Keynote section and a breakout space.
For our keynote section we bring to you the leading minds in the field to share their knowledge and experience, and to support you to apply it to your own organisation or practice. Past speakers include Martha Awojobi on Anti-Racism, Sophia Moreau on Disability Justice, Gendered Intelligence on Trans Awareness and Ruth Ibegbuna on Working Class Justice.
Each session, which takes places on Zoom, will also offer space for participants to bring their own current EDI or anti-oppression challenges in order to receive the support and collective wisdom of the SJC Circle.
Check out our videos below for a taste of what to expect at the SJC Circle Keynotes:

Ruth Ibegbuna speaking on Working Class Justice in the Charity Sector at the May 2024 SJC Circle.

Feedback from previous SJC Circles:
“It was so refreshing to be in a safe and supportive space. I felt really heard and was able to talk openly about challenges in a way that you're often unable to do at work. And especially as EDI practitioners, where we spend a lot of time carefully navigating and supporting others.”
“The spacings, timings, flow, length, you are incredible for offering this as it helps me as a leader to have a super safe space to reflect on theory to action and what I need to do next in my organisation to push us ever forward while bringing people with us”
“Radical, bold and unapologetic conversations - exactly what we need in these times”
