Diversity Agent 2.0 Course
 
Diversity Agents address a range of challenging and crucial issues such as structural racism, lack of equality and accessibility. As change makers and organizers, Diversity Agents offer ways to reflect, to develop tools, and to implement ways we can work towards a more equitable society. In this second edition of the Diversity Agent course special attention is given to recognizing structural racism and introducing anti-racist practices. The course encompasses lectures, meetings, and a diversity training clinic in collaboration with a local arts and culture organization.

Culture for All Service is partnering with Globe Art Point (G.A.P) to bring the Diversity Agent 2.0 Course to a wider audience across Finland. The course is coordinated by Culture for All Service, an organization that supports the Finnish art and culture field in issues regarding equity, inclusivity, accessibility and diversity in all its activities and in the recruitment of new staff. Culture for All Services and G.A.P. support all genders and people belonging to different minorities, regardless of e. g. gender or gender identity, ethnic background, potential disabilities, religion or age.

The course runs from September 2021 to February 2022.

Apply by September 12, 2021.
