Diversity
Looking beyond labels
How can you contribute to an inclusive working environment where everyone feels seen and valued? And how do you interact with colleagues from different walks of life? For example, how do you discuss sensitive issues related to diversity and inclusion and make sure that you don't avoid uncomfortable conversations? The Looking Beyond Labels training programme addresses all these questions.

The programme will help you to gain a better understanding of how you have learned to look at the world and the people around you. It will also help you to create space for people who have learned to look at things differently. This programme is relevant for all job groups and levels. The workshop is offered both in person and online.
Method
During the Looking Beyond Labels training programme, you will start to develop – within a safe online learning environment – six inclusive skills from the No Labels RUIMTE model™ (reflecting, stepping out of your comfort zone, looking at things from an intersectional perspective, putting your opinions aside, using inclusive language, developing empathy. In Dutch: Reflecteren, Uit je comfort zone stappen, Intersectioneel kijken, Mening parkeren, Inclusieve taal spreken, Empatisch vermogen ontwikkelen).
