Intercultural and Anti-racism training

This training is aimed at employers and organisations to help them recognise and better harness the strength of intercultural workforces and be sensitive to any practices or unconscious biases that may hinder inclusivity for migrant employees in the workplace.

Training sessions are a safe space in which participants can explore concepts of culture and identity and preconceptions without fear of being judged for saying the wrong thing.

Audience


Our Intercultural and Anti-racism training is best suited for HR professionals, Diversity & Inclusion teams, Management teams / Businesses, Public Service, Large NGOs and non-profit organisations

Goals


Increase understanding of other cultures and promote equality and inclusion in the workplace.

Structure and format


Training is very interactive and aims to stimulate participants to reflect on personal and societal attitudes and behaviours to diversity. Participants will acquire a deeper understanding of diversity and an ability to develop meaningful intercultural relationships.

To ensure the best quality learning environment we recommended a group of no more than 12 people per training. The training takes a minimum of eight hours (one full day or two half days).

Standard topics
 

  • Understanding of the concept of culture
  • Examining aspects of cultural identity
  • Exploring stereotypical thinking and its limitations
  • Sharing and reflecting on experiences of prejudice, discrimination and exclusion
  • Examining the nature of power in relationships between mainstream and marginal groups
  • Gaining an understanding of diversity and antiracism vocabulary and concepts

Through the training participants will gain skills in open-minded and flexible thinking, being sensitive to cross-cultural interactions, recognising and challenging assumptions and cultural stereotypes, and increase awareness of power relations and privilege and the impact of these on various cultural groups.

Participants also learn techniques on how to respond to racism, combatting attitudes and behaviour that could lead to discrimination and exclusion, and how to deescalate conflict arising from intercultural misunderstandings.
