United Edge

It's time to reframe the current #safeguarding narrative away from compliance and colonial #power dynamics and towards #contextualized approaches for genuine prevention, protection, compassion, agency, and #justice. This #subsidized #training focuses on creating a #cultureshift within teams and #NGOs working with those #MostAffected by today's injustices. Join us this #September for an interactive curriculum presented through a lens of #SocialJustice that includes theory, practice, case studies, tools, and discussions with participants, guest speakers, and facilitators from around the world. We're excited to present an updated Transformative Safeguarding #Toolkit to better design, implement, evaluate, and audit safeguarding policies and practices. Over 200 participants from 60+ countries joined us last time and said: 💥 "This is one of the best online courses ever! Highly recommended. Very professional. Active and open-minded team. Very fruitful course." (UNICEF | Palestine) 💥 "It is a way of challenging your thinking about safeguarding, gaining the courage to hold yourself and others accountable for the decisions made about the most vulnerable groups in society." (Oxfam | United Kingdom) 💥 "This is a great introductory course to explore safeguarding as a concept, beyond compliance, and look towards effective broader thinking about systems implemented and how to influence them."

Indigenous communities are sidelined in many government programs. This is the experience of Suriname Indigenous and Tribal people when they were not consulted in the country's carbon credits program. We must do better and treat Indigenous and Tribal people as rights holders, not just stakeholders.

Only a few days left to register for our Transformative Safeguarding Course! Co-leading the course is United Edge Co-Founder and Co-Director Daniel Bevan. United Edge is a social enterprise that works across the spectrum of social change from community activists and grassroots groups to international aid agencies and governments around the world. Daniel has trained and coached thousands of social change actors in the Justice Based Approach developed by United Edge, a unique lens that challenges us to approach our work through the lens of social and environmental justice, disrupt our assumptions, and tackle the underlying roots of injustice and oppression. Throughout his work, Daniel has focused on taking rights-based approaches to the next level, particularly through radical participation, programming that centers the people most affected by our work, and alternative socio-economic models inspired by eco-feminism, decolonization, and post-capitalism.
