On the 27th of April another important milestone was reached for the Diversity@Work project. A first version of the blended learning scripts as well as the first draft of the written part of the Charter Implementation Toolkit were presented to all project partners in an online meeting.  

In the context of the Expert Feedback Session, moderated by the project’s external M&E team (Stone Soup Consulting), project partners were able to provide their input regarding the developed tools. 

This meeting was the first part of 2 engagement moments we have planned for the Diversity Charters that are taking part in the testing of our tools. 

Also, new solutions and ideas were discussed, to address current challenges to Inclusion within organisations. Soon we will have more news about them! 

In total, 14 people from 6 different organizations and five different European countries participated in the meeting. 

Thanks for all the important feedback, soon, our tools will be ready for testing! Thank you all for your engagement!

Last month in Brussels project partners reviewed developments in the Diversity@Work project, delivered by the Irish and Estonian Diversity Charters, along with the Aga Khan Foundation in Portugal. In total, 10 European countries (Ireland, Estonia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, Romania, Spain and Portugal) are involved in this project.

All Diversity Charters responded to the survey between October 2019 and February 2020, which sought to identify and gather together practical tools that European Diversity Charters use to reach out to attract new signatory organisations, and support the implementation of Diversity Charters. In addition, the work to develop a blended learning course, to foster a greater understanding of the value of Diversity & Inclusion practices in the workplace is being advanced.

From the 22nd- 23rd of January, partners from the Estonian Human Rights Center, Equality Strategies (Ireland) and the Aga Khan Foundation Portugal gathered in Lisbon in the context of the Diversity@Work project that is co-funded by the Rights, Equality & Citizenship Programme of the European Commission.

 

The core aim of the project is to develop a Charter Implementation Toolkit (CIT), composed of a blended learning course to foster Diversity & Inclusion practices at the workplace, along with  practical tools that support European Diversity Charters reaching out to new signatory organisations and advising the development of their D&I policies and practices.

In total, 10 European countries (Ireland, Estonia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, Romania, Spain and Portugal) are involved in the project.
