The topics of social diversity, inclusion, equity or anti-exclusion have been present in the NGO sector for a long time. Organisations active in these areas often specialise in working with specific groups, advocating for them in their community. Of course, many organisations have been set up to pursue other, no less important, objectives and the topic of diversity does not seem to concern them on a daily basis.

DEI is an approach that is gaining popularity across sectors because it has solid benefits. Research conducted in the business sector points out that broadly defined social diversity can be an important factor in strengthening an organisation and supporting its growth. Teams and organisations that are diverse, yet fair and inclusive, are more creative and able to respond to the challenges and needs of different groups of beneficiaries. What is important is that new and talented people are more likely to join such teams and stay for longer.

Regardless of what thematic areas you are dealing with and who your beneficiaries are, we encourage you to look at diversity as a potential in your communities and teams. This potential is already present, although it is not always visible at first glance. Our webinars will provide an introduction to the topic of DEI and they will suggest you how to increase inclusivity and social justice in your workplace and organisational operations, while responding to challenges related to the topic of diversity.
