Are you working with pupils and students from different cultures, countries or gender? Are you sometimes unsure how to react in certain situations due to cultural differences? Do you want to find to new routines on handling challenging situations around diversity, culture and gender?
We live in a diverse world with unfortunately many inequalities based on gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation or age. We need educators and leaders who have the skills and knowledge to see and fight these inequalities. This seminar offers a space to discuss, explore and learn about the different aspects of diversity, understand the legal context on equality and develop behaviours to realize cultural and gender-sensitive needs and perspectives.
In detail you
- reflect on the personal values, attitude, skills in relation to acting in a diverse environment
- gain a better understanding of working with people with different gender
- understand what micro-inequalities are and develop skills to include people with different cultural backgrounds in your groups or teams
- learn strategies to listen not only with your mind, but also your heart and your body in your daily work
- Explore with the method of the “Forum theatre” of Augusto Boal how you can transform challenging situations
- learn about the legal context on equality, equal opportunities, anti-discrimination and human rights
- exchange with other participants the challenges arising from gender and cultural diversity in your own environment and build a network of exchange.
- Visit the Brunnemarkt / Yppenplatz – a diverse area in Vienna
Approach
This seminar is an exploratory journey of your inner leadership potential, which allows you to discover, who you are as a educator, trainer, teacher or leader.
You will look at your own values and attitudes and share experiences about inequalities in your home setting. Through new knowledge and active learning methods you benefit from experiences and ideas on how to face your diversity challenges at home. We will share some existing standards and concepts, such as the Human Rights to compliment the individual learning.
The course consists of a mix of short theoretical inputs, concrete exercises, group discussions and individual moments. We use the “Forum Theatre” of theatre director Augusto Boal to transform challenging situations and think about different ways of solving issues.
