For Professionals

WAARD offers various workshops to increase knowledge about promoting inclusion and tackling discrimination.

Workshops

The working methods aimed at professionals always seek to connect with daily practice within the organisation. In almost all cases, we like to first have a conversation to tailor the workshop. If your need is not in our overview, we can also develop something bespoke. Our staff have extensive experience within professional organisations, including education, government, and commercial institutions.

The objectives for each workshop are listed at the end of the workshop description. The working methods are always led by a professional.

Diversity & Inclusion

Searching for differences and similarities.

2 to 3 hours

Many organisations see the importance of diversity and want to promote and discuss it. While diversity is very measurable, inclusion is harder to define. However, one cannot exist without the other to achieve a good working environment. Different things play out in every organisation, but the process of becoming an inclusive organisation is often the same.

Discussing diversity and inclusion, why do you want to address it?
Addressing undesirable behaviour that can arise from diversity.
Working with case studies on discrimination and micro-aggressions.
Thinking and reflecting on your own actions in specific situations.

Sporen van Slavernij

What the WIC did in Groningen.

1,5 tot 2 uur

A city walk that opens many participants' eyes. The slavery past long seemed a story of the Randstad. Until a few years ago, research was done on Groningen's involvement in the West India Company. Many wealthy families had an interest in this and took pride in it. Many people benefited from the trade, but there was also a dark side: slavery.

Discovering what is still visible from the time of the WIC in the city and which people from that time were involved.
Discussing racism from that time (1622-1873) and extending it to the present.
