Description

We introduce a new low-threshold training that can be visited by anyone just during a lunch break. It takes only 60 minutes to attend. By offering anti-bias lunch breaks, we want to increase awareness about this topic in our alliance. We all have biases. There is nothing wrong with it. Unconscious bias affects everyone. It is important to become aware of own biases. Unconscious bias might lead to discrimination and inequality in some cases when it is not actively managed. This short training will give you the tools that you need. We offer several dates. You can select the date that you prefer below. 

The 60 minutes training focus on following topics with practical exercises. 

> Implicit bias 

> Microagressions

> Intersectionality 

> 3-step approach how to adress this all 

> Participants receive practical examples and exercises. The ENHANCE Ombudsperson facilitates selft-reflection and group discussion during the session. 

ENHANCE invites everyone in ENHANCE to join. The meetings will take place on Zoom (the link will be shared before the event). On request, you can receive a "ENHANCE Certificate of Participation". 

In the registration form, you can choose one of the dates that suits you best.
