about the series
advancing equity in human learning systems
Relational public services need more than good intentions to enable and enhance equity.
Together with Collaborate CIC, we have created a podcast series, Changing the Narrative, and a report on how to advance equity through Human Learning Systems (HLS). The six episodes feature practitioners involved in HLS examples, offering perspectives and practical approaches for advancing equity in your own context.
