About Us
Our organisation
Who Are We?
The NCBI Training (National Coalition Building Institute) is an international charity that was founded in the USA. NCBI UK has an established team of facilitators in various locations across the UK who are facilitators committed to empowering individuals and businesses to recognise the benefits of working with diversity; rather than against it.
NCBI’s belief is built on a desire for change leading to the identification and celebration of difference, thereby offering:
- integration and elimination of adverse behaviours in our communities
- reduction of costly partisan practises in our businesses
Working with individuals, groups and public and private organisations, NCBI Training aims to create training environments where everyone is equal, welcomed and encouraged. Where people are confident to speak and where they can be heard and play their full part. This experience and the skills used are taken forward by the individual to effect change in their relationships at home, in the workplace and the wider community.
NCBI Training has a long history of working in the UK and since 1984 our organisation has focused on breaking down discriminatory barriers and building teams that reflect our intercultural socio-ethnic communities.
NCBI is an organisation that empowers individuals and businesses to embrace diversity and differences by identifying, recognising and celebrating difference.
Our aim is to help remove the discriminatory barriers we face in our lives to create effective, cooperative and productive individuals, communities and businesses.The NCBI (National Coalition Building Institute) is an international charity founded in the USA and established in the United Kingdom 29 years ago.

our approach
How do we do it?
NCBI Training delivers accredited training workshops to suit the specific needs of individuals, groups and organisations, in the public and private sector.
We have an inclusive approach towards: faith and belief, income, wealth and class, learning ability, mental health, radicalised lifestyle, sexuality, gender, race and age.
NCBI Training workshops combine the exploration of principles, consequences, values and behaviours of the individual and society with a dialogue on moral issues. Our sessions are receptive, candid and vigorously honest where required, yet our work seeks to encourage collaboration without violating integrity or self-worth.
Register for our upcoming workshops.
The success of coalition building skills lies in ‘effective intervention’ strategies that strengthen an individual’s ability to interrupt biased behaviour without a complete breakdown in communication. Attendees to our courses will be taught how to build and maintain positive interactions across varying relationship platforms.
From disarming ice-breakers to caucus discussions, whole cohort participation, our course success relies on the involvement of all attendees. Learning and development happens through contribution and respectful mindfulness of others and ourselves.
