The Value of Diversity

Welcome to the GEPARDs training program on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion! In this learning journey, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of the Value of Diversity at the study place and the workplace. Our objective is to foster a deep understanding of key concepts and vocabulary related to diversity and mainstreaming. To commence, dive into the enlightening handbook excerpt, meticulously crafted to equip you with the fundamental knowledge needed.

As you progress, use our presentation, designed to reinforce these vital concepts. Uncover the nuances of diversity through carefully curated videos and documents, with a particular focus on the heated debate surrounding gender quotas. Explore the dynamic landscape of women in politics, delving into thought-provoking discussions that enrich your perspectives.

We believe in the power of education to drive positive change and collectively contribute to a more inclusive and equitable future. 

Plan:

• Start by reading the excerpt from the handbook to help you acquire the vocabulary and the basic concepts relating to diversity and mainstreaming.
• Then use the presentation to assist you in reinforcing the concepts
• The presentation will also prompt you to use videos and other documents to present you with the debate about gender quotas and then about women in politics.
