About this Event
Join Ruth Anna Phillips in Brixton for an immersive one-day intensive on size inclusivity – the first professional development programme of its kind.
This highly practical training draws on Ruth’s pioneering research and lived expertise, giving you hands-on tools, language, and strategies to create more equitable and supportive spaces for people in bigger bodies.
What we’ll cover:
- Helpful frameworks for embedding size inclusivity
- Options and adaptations for bigger bodies in movement and creative practice
- Useful and empowering language
- Advocacy strategies that make change possible
- Self-care for practitioners and participants
- Debunking myths around health and understanding the real impact of bias
⭐ Previous participants have rated this training 5/5 for content, accessibility, and value for money.
Who it’s for:
- Educators and arts practitioners
- Leaders and managers
- Anyone interested in building more inclusive, supportive spaces
You’ll leave the day not only with confidence and clarity and new contacts in the industry, but also a concrete plan for how to integrate size inclusivity into your own teaching, leadership, or creative practice.
