Chickenshed was asked to produce an interactive session with some fun exercises that would be challenging to the delegates and has designed a bespoke programme using the core values of the Olympic Games, Paralympics and Special Olympics that will focus on group achievement, team building, sharing and caring.
Chickenshed, which had a hit single in the UK top 40 in 1997 with I am in love with the world, has been offering and delivering diversity workshops to Corporates for many years. These have been adapted from the inclusive theatre model that we have been delivering to children and young people for 38 years.
Some of the corporates have included Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Band, The Metropolitan Police, The Cabinet Office and BT.
Chickenshed believes diversity is about respecting individual differences regardless of background, race, culture, gender, age, politics, religion, values, ethnicity and ability.
Paul Morrall, Chickenshed's director of Education will be delivering the workshops. He said: "Every Business is unique and has its own needs and responsibilities in relation to the growing diversity of both its client base and its workforce. A successful workforce is one, which embraces the need for its teams to include each other, be included by each other, understanding that its customers need to also feel that inclusivity of communication and feel it quickly.
"Chickenshed uses vibrant, stimulating and enriching performing arts and inclusive communication techniques to face these issues head on for business teams in the most positive, proactive and yet non-threatening of ways.
"Companies given the chance to reinterpret their core values through Chickenshed's inclusivity filter always come away invigorated with vital new dimensions added to their diversity understanding and experience."
