16 еxperts from the 8 European project partner countries took part in the Learning, Teaching, Training Activity (LTTA), focused on diversity and inclusion management in SMEs between 17 and 19 October in Hilversum, Netherlands, hosted by StoryBag.
Within 3 days the partners shared their insights and personal experiences in managing diversity in the business sector. During the LTTA “Applying storytelling and narrative approaches in Diversity & Inclusion Management”, participants from various backgrounds explored different case studies on micro-aggressions in the workplace, ageism, racism, etc. through interactive sessions and facilitated role-plays – these are also some of the highlights in the TGAL Storytelling Toolkit and the TGAL Diversity management train-the trainer program.
The training aimed to test different elements of the elaborated materials as well as the strategies and practical tools presented therein. They are intended to be shared with other experts in the field of vocational education and training initiatives, as well as HR specialists in SMEs in each project partner country.
As a result, partners will develop a Policy and Practice Recommendations Report that will support policymakers and practitioners across Europe to adopt the TGAL model and promote diversity management within SMEs in Europe.
