Diversity and Cultural Awareness

Course Overview
Effectively recognising and valuing the differences that exist in society requires a fundamental understanding of ourselves.
Diverse-City expands the concept of diversity training to tackle a wide range of social issues and examine how our different values, assumptions, and perceptions are instilled and expressed in the way we behave and interact with others. The course will help you understand the differences between equality and diversity and our unique Diverse-City board game will allow you to test and challenge stereotypes in a fun and non-threatening way. Our approach is not to make diversity awareness difficult and dictatorial, but instead our training is innovative, lively and allows participants to understand how diversity links them and their jobs.
