Hue was established in 2020 in response to a desperate need for training that challenged systems of oppression and the underlying issues that detrimentally impact people of colour in Australia.
Too often, the training available in this area is tokenistic, disengaging, and ignores the knowledges and skills of First Nations people and people of colour. Meanwhile, we are made to educate and create change in our organisations and movements, unpaid, from the ground up.
We’re tired of this ineffective approach and of check box “diversity & inclusion” training in professionalism and politeness.
We established the anti-racism and allyship training workshops via Democracy in Colour in 2017 to create meaningful and impactful change, and were overwhelmed by the demand and support we received. We realised that to continue to offer workshops and resources to more organisations, we needed to create a space dedicated to this work. With the support of Democracy in Colour we created Hue!
Hue is a platform for people with lived experience to have their voices heard and use their experiences to facilitate and empower people to create social change.
