Partnering with change makers for better solutions
OUR SERVICES
WHAT WE OFFER
We partner with individuals, organisations and movements committed to global justice -- from local worker cooperatives to national civil society, from international humanitarian agencies to global movements for justice.
We work with change makers who share our passion for participation, critical thinking and a systems approach to problem-solving. We offer diverse and innovative skills, decades of experience in social change across the globe and incisive and inspiring perspectives to all our partners.
All of our work is through the lens of the Justice Based Approach, a radical new framework for social transformation that focuses on 5 interconnected pillars. As the architects of the approach, we provide essential thought leadership in how to embed those pillars across international aid and humanitarianism, movements for social and environmental justice, education, healthcare and criminal justice systems, governance and grassroots activism.
We are the global leader in training and supporting organisations, corporations, governments, movements and individuals in JBA. Our flagship JBA Foundation Course is increasingly seen as an essential resource for professionals and activists around the globe, and our work to make the tools of Strategic Foresight accessible to those working in social change has been instrumental in building futures literacy in our sector.
As a collective of JBA practitioners, we have an incredibly diverse array of experience and perspectives to help to translate the principles of Justice into all areas of work.
Our services are as diverse as the people we work with but fall under three key activities.
Increase the impact and quality of your work through our training, coaching and mentoring programmes for individuals, teams and movements while creating a network of ongoing peer support. United Edge supports change makers to develop the skills, knowledge and processes needed to deepen impact, demonstrate success and look outside of the box for systemic solutions. We are experts in online and in-person facilitation and the global leaders in Justice-based learning programmes.
For more information about our current training schedule please check out our events page.
As the architects of the Justice Based Approach, we are committed to supporting the aid sector, movements for social change, organisations, companies and public institutions to cultivate and embed JBA in everything they do. This is a critical moment for humanitarian and development organisations, and pivoting towards a Justice lens has never been more important. We advocate for this shift and provide tools, resources, and consultancy services for those hoping to disrupt traditional power dynamics. United Edge supports numerous networks, communities of practice and research initiatives to take their work further through the lens of JBA.
From our flagship learning community and JBA Foundation Course to the ground-breaking Justice Collective Fellowship, we invest in other capacity development programmes to inspire and develop Justice literacy.
We are particularly committed to supporting grassroots organisations to access training, a solidarity network, and practical support in their work. Contact us for more information! At United Edge, we work alongside those most affected by programmes to co-create ground-up initiatives that are innovative, holistic and genuinely shift power.
"I cannot recommend working with United Edge highly enough. They'll challenge and inspire you -- and you and your organisation will evolve and be stronger and more dynamic.”
