ABOUT WE-LEAD

Sound familiar?

It’s a known fact that many employees encounter these experiences and narratives in the workplace. If left unaddressed, it can chip away at trust, hinder productivity, and prevent organizations from reaching their full potential.

So, what’s the solution?

With We-Lead—our immersive, theater-based learning playshop—we help teams and organizations see bias in action, feel its impact, and explore empathy and intersectionality to deconstruct privilege and discrimination. More importantly, our playshop creates a space to practice behaviors that drive real change and turn awareness into action. With We-Lead we help organizations build inclusive cultures to ensure that every voice is seen, heard and valued!

WHAT DO WE DO?

Inclusion isn’t just a policy – it’s a practice. So we use theatre-based immersive learning to turn abstract concepts around DEI into real, lived experiences. We bring DEI to life, moving beyond theory to create genuine understanding and change.

HOW DO WE DO IT?

Day-long, in-person, facilitator-led playshop comprising a series of Interactive, reflective and immersive exercises that draw from theatre frameworks

Use of Theatrical Performances, Street Play formats and Corporate Plays to address issues around gender, diversity and inclusion and reinforce messaging around it

SNIPPETS FROM OUR RECENT WORKSOPS

Syngrity ventured into interior Maharashtra, to conduct a transformative workshop for @Laxmi Organics Industries in Mahad.Our methodology? The power and outreach of Theatre! We staged ‘Zara Aikaa’ (Please Listen), a Marathi Street play, spotlighting Gender Diversity and Inclusion. Centered around the theme of Acceptance, Respect, and Boundary (Sweekar, Sanman, Seema), the play spotlighted and showcased Laxmi Organics’ commitment to gender diversity and inclusion. Led by our master facilitator and performance director, Monica Mahendru, each show ended with a debrief, sparking reflection on the importance of inclusive workplaces. Covering over 500 employees through 9 performances, over a span of 3 days, the workshop was hugely successful in its endeavor to remind the audience of the importance of an inclusive environment in the workplace. Big shoutout to Laxmi Organics and their team for the hospitality and support extended to us and, more importantly, for walking the talk when it comes to enhancing workplace culture.

Team Syngrity descended from a neighbourhood galaxy into the headquarters of Laxmi Organic Industries Ltd to perform a play around the theme of Gender, Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace. The Premise of the Play? An extraterrestrial visitor lands on earth on a mission to secure a job here. Eager to learn the ropes, our Alien attends a grooming school, only to encounter complex dynamics that women navigate in the professional realm. The play ended with a detailed debrief by our master facilitator and performance director Monica Mahendru sparking reflection on unconscious biases in the workplace and the need for building a gender-inclusive culture. The key takeaways of the performance were the 3Ss – Sweekar, Sanman, Seema (Acceptance, Respect, and Boundaries) in the workplace and truly showcased Laxmi Organics’ commitment to gender diversity and inclusion. Big shoutout to Laxmi Organics and their team for the hospitality and support extended to us and, more importantly, for walking the talk when it comes to enhancing D&I in the workplace.
