An ally is any person who takes actions, whether they be big or small, and works in solidarity and partnership with marginalised groups of people to take down the systems that challenge their basic rights, equal access, and ability to thrive in our society. Allyship is a journey of life-long learning.
Knowledge is power and the EMC offers everyone the opportunity to look at a situation differently, evaluate it differently and ultimately choose to deal with it differently.
Only through interacting with many people, in different spheres and circumstances, will you have the right conditions for opportunity to be presented to you.
The EMC has provided me with so-called ‘night vision’, a tool we have learnt that enables us to look beyond what things look like on the surface level.
The programme is based on an excellent mix of independent studies, theoretical modules, readings, and papers that enable you to apply what you have learned on yourself and your environment.
