A two-day workshop for cultural professionals on the effects and side effects of diversity processes.
#TOBEMOREDIVERSE
It’s no secret that the cultural sector is not as diverse as our society. How to change that, on the other hand, is a secret. Mostly, diversity is about changing public relations or individual projects with so-called target groups. A comprehensive transformation encounters resistance, leads to (re)injuries, frustration and insecurity. How can diversity processes succeed? What measures are effective in reducing discrimination and preventing exclusion? What is behind the terms diversity, discrimination, inclusion and how am I positioned in them myself?
The workshop starts with an introductory input that gives an overview of the debate and a very personal insight into experiences with diversity processes.
Afterwards there is the possibility to choose between two workshops and to deepen topics.
Workshop 1: Allyship against Discrimination (Allyship)
This workshop provides tips on how to be an allyship partner for people experiencing discrimination in areas where you do not experience discrimination. We will explore the following question, among others: How can I live out alliance partnering without being patronizing and encroaching? What privileges do I have and how do I use them for change? How can I act when people have been hurt because of discrimination?
Trainer: ManuEla Ritz
Workshop 2: Institutions on the way to more diversity
How can staff, audiences, and offerings become more diverse? What questions can I ask myself and the institutions in which I work or with which I cooperate? How can I identify and define first steps towards more diversity?
The workshop will provide tips and advice on how to initiate real change processes and also cushion the side effects. The workshop offers a mixture of exercises, inputs and video as well as plenty of space for collegial exchange.
