Heritage Day 2026 | Talks & Workshops for South African Workplaces
There are three ways to work with us.
A 90 minute talk.For organisations that want their Heritage Day to leave people thinking. Three themes to choose from: hope as a survival strategy and how we mobilise it into something, heritage as a route to showing up authentically at work, and the joy of working across cultural difference.
A half day workshop. Three and a half hours, for teams that want to leave with skills rather than just a good feeling. Working with cultural diversity, psychological safety and unconscious bias, or generational diversity.
A bespoke series.Three workshops designed with you, running across September and October, for organisations that want Heritage Day to open a longer process rather than close a single day.

Problem solving support
We are at a critical turning point. Meaningful action is needed to create the conditions for equity. We partner with changemakers and mission-driven organisations working to transform systems and drive lasting change.
developing solutions
We help create the conditions for wellbeing-centered cultures, strategic clarity, and courageous implementation. We work with you to ensure these foundations are in place, so you can implement the changes needed to remake unjust systems.
a cRITICAL APPROACH
Our approach is grounded in critical theories and progressive frameworks that center deep listening, psychological safety, and meaningful collaboration, with a strong foundation in feminist leadership, critical diversity, and decolonisation.
Helping you Succeed
We help mission-driven organisations get unstuck. Whether the challenge lies in team dynamics, strategic direction, or putting plans into action, we work with you to identify what’s standing in the way of your goals and to develop practical, effective solutions. Together, we support your team, co-create strategy, and ensure implementation happens with clarity, momentum, and accountability.
We’re deeply committed to the missions of the organisations we partner with. It's how we contribute to the change our world needs. But a mission alone is not enough. We help ensure you have what it takes to deliver: a strong culture, a supported team, a clear and effective strategy, and a realistic, achievable plan to make it happen.
We treat team culture as a key factor in achieving impact. When people are supported and heard, their insights can strengthen your mission and shape better outcomes. We help build engaged, empowered teams where all voices are valued—because too many good organisations fall short when their people are overlooked.
Our approach—grounded in deep listening, problem-finding, and mission-driven strategy—is shaped by critical, feminist, and decolonial thinking. It has been honed through partnerships with leading organisations such as the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Mama Cash, the Better Than Cash Alliance, Oxfam America, and ICLEI Africa.
