Highlighting Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) as a strategic and economic imperative. The Inclusion Network is an initiative we've launched to promote and ensure diversity and inclusion. Lead by our 'Inclusion Allies' to come up with industry specific solutions and drive progress in this area.
It is our mission to make Ireland's Creative Commercial Industry a leader of inclusion in the workplace.

Here's a video we filmed especially for our 2019 IWD event earlier this year (where The Inclusion Network was launched by IAPI Board Member Charlotte Barker, Deputy Managing Director at dynamo.ie) from the next generation.
We spoke with children from 3rd and 6th class in Griffeen Valley Educate Together School, Lucan. The video presented their unfiltered views on equality, diversity, balance and inclusion and juxtaposed their ideas with the perceived status quo of the modern work environment.
We have started to build a list D&I reference materials (projects, research and initiatives of note) from the industry and beyond - take a look here and let us know if you have anything to add.
