Diversity Competence for Non-Academic Staff - Workshop Series

The daily routine at a university mirrors the diversity of people as well as their thinking or the motivations for their actions. This provides many opportunities at the University of Vienna to learn new things and have enriching experiences. At the same time it may lead to irritations and misunderstandings.

The workshop series takes actual experiences of the employees as its departure point and connects those with knowledge on the topic of diversity based in theory and practice. Diversity is understood as the experience of similarities and differences in the university as a working environment. Building from that the participants should be empowered to develop strategies on how to deal with challenging situations in their daily work more consciously and more competently.
