Arbitral Women Diversity Toolkit Training Event - March 12, 2020
ABOUT THE EVENT
The Toolkit is a full-day* training course for all those who want to make a difference to Diversity taking place on March 12, 2020. Groups are ideally from 20 to 30 at most. A day of mini-lectures, video clips, participatory exercises and guided workshops helps participants to make the business case for diversity, and to recognize the unconscious biases that make Diversity difficult. The goal is for each person to leave the workshop with a personal diversity plan - a goal that is achievable in that person's circumstances by a series of actions leading to behavioural change. A follow-up survey will assess the long-term influence of the Toolkit training for each participant.
*7 training hours excluding lunch; from 9.00am to 5.00pm.
