ABOUT ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT TRAINING + EXPERIENCES

Whether you’re trying to convince a reluctant team about the benefits of diversity and inclusion or hoping to break down the effects of unconscious bias, Altogether Different aims to break away from the traditional ‘classroom’ format to encourage a more creative, engaged atmosphere. Through the use of films, artworks, unconventional spaces or immersive theatre we encourage conversation, helping your team find common ground around diversity issues. This empathy-building, inclusive approach is at the heart of everything we do.

ABOUT CHARLOTTE BUTLER

With over 15 years’ experience in employee communication, community building and HR consultancy, Charlotte Butler set up Altogether Different in 2016 to help workplaces become more diverse and inclusive. More inclusive of gender, sexual orientation, age, caring responsibilities, under-represented racial groups and physical ability. Essentially less ‘corporate monoculture’ and more reflective of the world we live in today. Because in 2017, prosperous teams are inclusive teams.

Together with a wide network of creative partners, from installation artists to FTSE CEOs, Charlotte and her team work closely with organisations to bring about positive and practical changes to increase workplace equality.
