In this class hosted by EMA partner Haa Tóoch Lichéesh, you will grow in your capacity to understand, speak, and write in Lingít. We will study written speeches and recordings, practice greeting each other and speaking from the heart while honoring culture and our linguistic fluency. Our long-term goal is to foster respectful engagement with other Lingít speakers as each of us work together to help revitalize and preserve the Lingít language. As a team we will use resources available to us and find our voices in the language. Lingit is a complex language with 58 letters and about 30 sounds that are not found in English. Four of those sounds are not found in any language in the world.

In-Sight Collaborative offers monthly wellness sessions to the general public. These sessions are designed to provided a supportive space for those who are on the frontlines of change, come together, process the world and our work, and heal. These groups are designed to create a space where individuals involved in humanitarian efforts can connect, share experiences, and process the emotional toll of their work through creative and hands-on means. It’s a place to share the challenges we’re facing, reflect on our personal journeys, and heal together in a supportive, like-minded community.

For October, let’s tap into the indigenous wisdom of the natural world—through herbalism, ritual, and connection with the plants that nourish and protect us. We’re embracing our inner witches, reclaiming spiritual practices rooted in care and resistance, and remembering that healing doesn’t come from systems—it comes from the earth, community.  Come curious. Come barefoot. Come ready to steep in something sacred.

For November, let’s embrace gratitude—not as toxic positivity, but as radical presence. Let’s explore the power of positive deviance, finding beauty in the cracks, and practicing joy as defiance when the world feels like too much. Come gather, reflect, and rebel joyfully. Gratitude can be a form of resistance—and a way to keep going.

In December, as the world quiets, we invite you to do the same. Join us this month to explore the practice of wintering—intentionally slowing down, creating space for rest, and gathering warmth in whatever ways you can. We’ll reflect on what it means to make space instead of pushing through, to hold stillness as sacred, and to let softness be a form of strength.

In-Sight Collaborative’s leadership program (formerly known as the Mentorship Program) is designed to provide an accessible and welcoming introduction to participation and leadership in the humanitarian sector with continuing opportunities to refine personal and professional reflection skills, facilitation, and mentorship.

Applications open:
October 20, 2025-January 30, 2026

Program runs:
February 16- April 20, 2026

This program will be available in English only.


The humanitarian sector is one of the most diverse and intersectional sectors in the world. Unfortunately, it is also wrought with colonial and supremacist mentalities that create a culture of exclusion in both humanitarian education initiatives and sector careers. Difficulty in accessing educational and career opportunities in the humanitarian sector leaves out vital perspectives and voices, oftentimes from those most impacted by humanitarian crisis, and perpetuates harmful practices and narratives within the global humanitarian response.

Since its inception in 2020, the program has been attended by hundreds of participants from over 35 countries around the world. In-Sight believes that anyone with the right mindset and a willingness to engage can be an effective part of the humanitarian response from any background, profession, or sector. It is one of their goals to help inspire future humanitarian leaders and give them the tools and resources they need to participate in a meaningful way.

Throughout the program, participants will be given the opportunity to explore the following areas of the non-profit and humanitarian sector:

  • The history of colonialism in forced displacement and the humanitarian response
  • How the language we use shapes our identity, the way we understand, analyze and interpret the world around us, and how we interact with it
  • Dissecting industrial complexes and the roles they play in forced migration, structural violence, and the humanitarian and nonprofit response
  • Exploring decolonized knowledge systems, knowledge-sharing, and arts-based research methods
  • Accompaniment and mutual aid as tools in the humanitarian and nonprofit sector
  • Planning, assessment, implementation, and evaluation of interventions with human-centered frameworks
  • Leadership development and professional networking opportunities with like-minded people from various sectors
  • Individual and collective wellness practices through an anti-colonial lens

About In-Sight Collaborative

In-Sight Collaborative is a humanitarian NGO founded in 2016 by a group of friends volunteering in refugee camps in Northern Greece. In an acute humanitarian crisis spanning acres and acres of farm fields, train tracks, gas station parking lots, and abandoned hotels, our founding members recognized that the current lens we had grown up with to view the world was dangerously misleading. We saw a need for more collaboration, for more championing of the agency of the people who call these camps home.

In-Sight Collaborative is a facilitator to those in the humanitarian sector who recognize that cultivating an equitable aid system starts with oneself. Moving from its direct aid model, In-Sight Collaborative now works to embody the accompaniment model. We educate humanitarians to be intentional and empowered to cultivate a more equitable system by providing educational tools, programs, and platforms to address harmful policies and practices.
