“How can we become more capable of using our individual and combined knowledge in a healthy and effective way in order tot support our personal, social and professional life, our teams, our relations, our company?” In my vision we are all unique different human beings, diversity is inside and outside all of us. There are differences in the position though, some elements of diversity (ethnical, religious, gender, sexual orientation, class, etc.) are more dominant, more appreciated than others. So, we need to pay attention on how being aware and be able to deal with that. How to use this diversity in our personal, relational and professional social contexts?

‘WORKING WITH DIVERSITY CARDS’

Available to order send email .(JavaScript moet ingeschakeld zijn om dit e-mail adres te bekijken) the set of cards is 50 euro The methodology and content are developed from a practice of working over 30 years in the field of diversity / intercultural communication/ intersectionality. The cards can be used for training, team - and individual coaching sessions, in organizational consulting and individual work. • The substantive inspiration is the theory of Kimberle Crenshaw / Gloria Wekker a.o. on ‘Intersectionality’. Workshops can be offered ‘open enrollment’ or ‘in-company’. Reviews of trainers that have been working with the cards: “I wanted to let you know that the Diversity Cards worked very well indeed with the group I facilitated; indeed they were the highlight of the six week programme! There were participants from Sudan, Indonesia, Guinea-Bissau, Poland, S. Africa, and Bangladesh; because the cards opened up the possibility for each person to talk about themselves from a position of their own choice, it created a lively and egalitarian atmosphere on the first day, for which I was happy. Also, everyone enjoyed translating the words into their mother tongue!”
