The project with the title “Managing Diversity in the Workplace” was based on the “Diversity 2.0 – An Employers’ Guide“, printed in February 2019 by Gneration 2.0 for rights equality & diversity, with the support of the European Network Against Racism.

Using as tools the active participation, information provision and open debate, the project activities aim to inform employers as well as the whole personnel in a company or organisation on issues related to diversity and inclusion in the workplace, promoting at the same time, both the personal development of each one of the participants and collectively, a better performance for the organisation.
More specifically, the training touches on issues such as immigration terminology and legal regimes, behaviors, habits and practices of other cultures and religions, diversity management and good practices in the workplace. Reflecting on the multiple identities we adopt in a day, depending on the context around us, it makes us realize, even for a moment, through playful activities, that ultimately the issue of managing diversity can be at the same time a deterrent against violence, intimidation and biased attitudes, especially within the workplace, at various levels of hierarchy and among colleagues.
