Includ-EU Online Session: “Anti-discrimination: a Transformative Approach for Organisations”

27 December, 2022 By Anna Comacchio

This online session will focus on how we can identify and prevent systemic discrimination in our environments. It will be led by Diversity Equity and Inclusion Expert, Author and Podcast Producer Prisca Ratovonasy. She will share the stage with Mame-Fatou Niang, Associate Professor, Author and Artist-in-Residence at Ateliers Médicis.

This session will be held in English but simultaneously translated into Italian, Slovenian, Romanian, Greek, Spanish, and Dutch, allowing us to grow our community and involve more and more institutions.

This is a rare opportunity to bring together an international community with 7 European languages around a shared objective to make services and organisations more inclusive.

Make sure you circulate the invitation to your colleagues, stakeholders, friends and partners, to

  • better understand the stakes
  • raise awareness on the transformative dimension of addressing discrimination
  • get actionable knowledge, ready to use

Registrations are already open at this link. Further information will be shared soon!

This online training session is organised in the context of INCLUD-EU, an EU project funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration fund (AMIF) which contributes to building more inclusive and cohesive European societies by enhancing knowledge, driving innovation, and stimulating cooperation between local and regional authorities in the European Union.
