Join our community for the first Impact Session, with an interactive workshop to depict how human beings have intrinsic cognitive biases. These biases lead to societal behaviours that directly impact us, with particular disadvantages for members of underrepresented groups. We will also have work groups to reflect on how we can mitigate implicit biases both at an individual and structural level and on how we can foster a more inclusive and safer work environment for all.

Diversify works with startups, corporations and the education sector in sustainable and intersectional culture change to support entrepreneurs, executives and diversity teams, with the knowledge, strategy, and tools needed to achieve their goals.
