SUMMARY:Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Neurodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is imperative for a sustainable\, competitive and innovative company and society at large. Diversity also goes beyond the outward perception of a company – it includes how the internal structures work and signal the value systems of an organization’s management or leadership team. \nThis series is designed by Diversify to centre Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace. We look forward to seeing you! \n\nDiversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Neurodiversity\n  \n\nNeurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one “right” way of thinking\, learning\, and behaving\, and differences are not viewed as deficits. (Harvard Health) \nThe word neurodiversity refers to differences within ALL people. However\, it is often used to refer to those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)\, as well as other neurological or developmental conditions such as ADHD or learning disabilities\, where differences in behaviour and learning can be more apparent. \nDuring this session of Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace we will explore how workplaces\, recruiters and we as individuals in our everyday interactions can become more aware of neurodiversity.  By making conscious “accommodations”\, neurodivergant people can be better included. With this awareness of neurodivergant ways of learning and behaving\, neurodiversity can be accepted and celebrated\, rather than excluded. \nThese accommodations can be things such as: \n\n\nthe way we communicate (avoiding sarcasm\, euphemisms\, and implied messages)\npaying attention to what words you use (person first language)\nthe set up of a workplace to be considerate of sound sensitivity and movement (allowing regular breaks or the use of fidget toys\, for example)\n\n\nJoin us to hear from our panelists about their lived experience and to learn what can be done to create a more inclusive workplace and society. \n\n\n  \nThis event is FREE to attend. Please register HERE to receive the zoom link. \n  \n\nPanelists\nRune-André Tveit (he/him)\n \nRune-André is an entrepreneurial minded person with a passion for sharing his knowledge and experience. Rune has started Excalibur Startup Academy which aims to democratize knowledge on entrepreneurship by offering webcourses\, coaching and workshops. Their webcourse Grunderformelen\, which is a fully self paced online course\, consists of twelve modules on a variety of topics which will give aspiring entrepreneurs the tools they need to execute their ideas. In the course you will learn from entrepreneurs\, investors\, consultants and people that teach business. \nAt the age of seven\, Rune was diagnosed as dyslectic. This became a negative label for him all throughout school\, and because of it he had to work twice as hard! But at the age 30 he realized he had been wrongly diagnosed as a kid\, as he realized he had ADHD. That’s when things fell in to place and things got easier. In this session he’ll share his perspectives on the importance of Neurodiversity. \n  \nNesceda Blake (she/her)\nNesceda Blake is an autistic woman and performing arts producer from Melbourne\, Australia. She endeavours to create positive change in the world around her by sharing her neurodivergent experiences. \nHer posts and article on LinkedIn have received over 900\,000 views\, with thousands of individuals learning how to make the working world a better place for neurodivergent people. Nesceda has also begun speaking with employers\, entrepreneurs and recruiters to spread the word about neuro-inclusivity\, and challenges businesses to rethink how diversity and inclusion practices can achieve actual equity. \nNesceda currently works as a Senior Officer\, Student Theatre and Engagement at La Trobe University\, where she gets to share her passion for the arts with emerging student creatives. \n  \nChisom Udeze (she/her)\nChisom is an Economist\, Organizational Design and DEI Strategist\, and a 3 times founder with over 12 years of experience working with organizations like the European Commission\, The United Nations and ExxonMobil. Chisom has an analytical mind and works to interrogate the cross-sectoral relationship between society’s resources\, production\, distribution and output. She is adept at efficiently and effectively unlocking complex systems\, data management\, forecasting economic and social trends\, and thrives in uncertain environments. \nAs the founder of Diversify\, Chisom works with companies\, governments and civil society to facilitate measurable diversity and inclusion initiatives in the workplace and society. In 2020\, mid-pandemic\, she founded HerSpace\, a diverse and inclusive co-creation community for all genders\, with particular focus on women-led companies and mothers. She is a thought-leader in Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) and a passionate advocate for mental health and wellness.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Binary Gender: Transgender Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:International Transgender Day; India is leading the way! \nMillions have watched Pose on HBO. In India\, people don’t watch! Government acts! While recognition of genders outside of male and female has only recently been discussed in Western societies\, in the Indian society\, people of non-binary gender expressions have played important roles for over 2000 years. \nIndia’s Supreme Court has ruled that transgender people are created as a third gender in the country. The decision is seen as a milestone in India. This was the first time in world history that a Supreme Court recognizes transgender people as a separate gender. \nDiversity campaigns and Pride flagging notwithstanding: Research indicates that it is difficult to be a trans person in working environments. According to the report “Sexual orientation\, gender diversity and living conditions” from 2021\, transgender people stand out in terms of mental health\, life satisfaction and experiences of discrimination. Transgender rights matters! \nWe are excited to share that we will have Miriam Hardarson as one of our speakers. \n\nSchedule:\n08.00 Welcome by Hans Geelmuyden by Chair DMI\n08.05 India´s Supreme Court establishes third gender category. How did this happen? Speaker: Laxmi Singh\, Deputy Country Representative – UN Women\, India\n08.20 Meaningful Inclusion starts from the Bathroom to the Boardroom – Speaker: Celia Sandhya Daniels\, Trans Evangelist & Human Rights Activist\n08.50 Cracking the glass ceiling – Speaker: Miriam Hardarson\, Agency Director Sopria Steria\n09.10 Lessons to be learned for Norway Lars Arnesen\, Lawyer and Compliance Officer at Dignio\n09.20 Q&A Miriam Hardarson and Chisom Udeze\, Founder\, Diversify\n09.45 Mingling\n10.30 End \n*There might be changes in the program \nThis is a free event.

SUMMARY:Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Creating a Human-centric Hybrid Work Environment
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is imperative for a sustainable\, competitive and innovative company and society at large. Diversity also goes beyond the outward perception of a company – it includes how the internal structures work and signal the value systems of an organization’s management or leadership team. \nThis series is designed by Diversify to centre Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace. We look forward to seeing you! \n\nDiversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Creating a Human-centric Hybrid Work Environment\nTechnology has been a saviour during the last two years\, allowing us to continue to work\, learn and stay connected. \nHowever\, the online platforms\, like zoom and teams\, were not designed to replicate the working environment in every regard. They lack a space for casual human interactions\, kitchen talk and the opportunity to feel the energy in the room. Subtle body language is also often lost\, impacting how we receive and interpret information. \nFurthermore\, like humans\, these platforms were not prepared for our sudden and oftentimes complete transition to remote working in early 2020. With the instant increase in use\, has there been the opportunity to humanize the way in which these systems operate? And have we made a conscious effort to change the way we use and communicate to one another on these platforms? \nIn many cases\, hybrid working is here to stay\, and there are many benefits. Accessibility\, efficiency\, and increased opportunities to collaborate across geographic distances\, to name a few. So how can we centre people in hybrid working environments to ensure that diversity and inclusion continue to be upheld and developed? \nDuring this edition of Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace we will look at the experiences of those coming from across organisational structures and varying stages of business development. We will discuss strategies to ingrain best practices for the future of hybrid work to ensure to incorporate Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging values.

SUMMARY:Women in Leadership: Shine Theory
DESCRIPTION:At HerSpace\, we are proud to be part of a collective and necessary effort to be active participants in helping women advance in their social\, personal and professional lives. We have designed the Women in Leadership series as a way to amplify the voices\, stories and experiences of women. Our featured women speakers have diverse backgrounds\, have reached milestones in their careers\,  and have made an impact in their industry and communities. We all benefit when stories of challenges and wins are shared. We offer their stories\, knowledge and insights to help empower you in your own journey. \nWomen in Leadership is a recurring event that will feature an inspirational female leader every month. If you would like to nominate a woman in your network as a way to honor her work\, please reach out so our collection can grow with our community. \n\nJoin us to hear Chisom Udeze and Sarah Przedpelska discuss Shine Theory.\n  \nShine Theory\, developed by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman\, is described as the practice of mutual investment in each other. Shine Theory represents an intentional commitment to collaborate with and support each other instead of competing with each other. \nRather than engage in insecurity\, Shine Theory encourages us to come into our power and have the confidence to be excited and supportive of someone else’s success. It embodies the attitude of “I don’t shine if you don’t shine.” It’s a practice of cultivating a spirit of genuine happiness and excitement when your friends are doing well\, and being there for them when they aren’t. When we find ways to elevate each other and help each other thrive\, it becomes contagious. \nThis is the second time we take on this topic\, and in the 17 months since out last discussion\, A LOT has changed. \nThis conversation will explore what builds energy\, how we support one another in rebuilding or reinventing in a pandemic world and how we navigate our human capacity in times of scarcity. \n\nThis discussion will run from 18:00-19:00\, and for those who attend in-person\, from 19:00-19:30 you will have the opportunity mingle and network. \nCost: \nIn-person: 150NOK \nOnline: 100NOK \nThis event is free or discounted for HerSpace members.  \n\nAbout our speakers:\nChisom Udeze\nChisom Udeze\, according to Sarah Przedpelska:\n“When Chisom Udeze encounters a problem that irks her\, you can be certain she does not rest until something moves. She’s done it for over a decade within business development and economics\, and more recently\, she has been moving things in Oslo to create social impact through Diversify and HerSpace. Chisom is seldom perplexed by problems\, instead she sees them as puzzles in need of new constellations. The constellations she forms depend on collaborating with others and lifting together to form synergies and new solutions. No wonder the concept of Shine Theory has such a great appeal to her.” \n  \n  \nSarah Przedpelska\n\nPrzedpelska is a curious\, brave\, warm\, and brilliant individual. She approaches every situation with an open mind\, and a willingness to truly learn. She sees and values people as they are. In the years I have known Sarah she has been a confidante and a force of nature who I can reach out to when I need unfiltered honesty and advice. She expects me to be better than I am\, and she encourages me to aim higher. While I have practiced Shine Theory in one way or another throughout my adult life\, it was with Sarah that we first decided to make it intentional. She introduced me to the concept of Shine Theory and I look forward to continuing learning from her.”

If you would like to nominate a woman in your network as a way to honor her work\, please reach out so our collection can grow with our community. \n\nWe are delighted to announce our upcoming guest of honour \nFrederikke Antonie Schmidt\nFrederikke Antonie Schmidt has founded Roccamore with a mission to make more women stand strong and take their place in the world. \nIt all started in 2014 when she decided she wanted to create a product that would make women’s lives better; she would invent a high heel that didn’t feel like torture. \nRoccamore shoes are handmade in Italy by some of the world’s best shoemakers\, and scientifically validated to relieve 44% of the pressure in your arch\, 26% in your forefoot and 19% in your heel. \nFrederikke used herself as a baseline for testing and developing the comfort\, using the shoes every day and always adjusting the insole for about 2 years\, until she finally had the perfect product. \nRoccamore wants to make women feel good about standing up for who they are. Since the beginning Frederikke has been including her followers in the designing process\, asking them what they want\, making them part of the designing process\, voting for new products and giving their feedback. She even names all her designs after real women\, who are nominated by the people who follow her. Because every woman deserves to have a shoe named after her. \nFrederikke also sits on ByFounders Collective\, the Board of Representatives for Kolding Design School and as Chairman of the government’s Restart Team for Fashion & Textile. \n \nCost \nIn-person: 150NOK (includes light refreshments) \nOnline: 100NOK \nThis event is co-produced by HerSpace\, Diversify and Africa Connect. \n\nPrinsens gate is becoming THE destination for female founders! \nAs Roccamore just became our neighbours in Prinsens gate\, following the conversation at HerSpace we will wander up the street and visit their sparkling new store for a celebratory drink. \nWe hope you will join us!

SUMMARY:Kundalini Fusion Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place on Saturday\, December 19th.  \nKundalini Fusion is an energizing and strengthening class\, as well as being a physical approach to reaching a tranquil\, meditative mind. You will learn different breathing techniques and Kundalini exercises that you can practice on your own for an efficient energy shot\, or to reach a deep\, meditative state. \nKundalini Fusion is built up as a dynamic flow class\, fused with elements from Kundalini. Kundalini is a style of yoga characterised by repetitive movements coupled with a specific breath. This awakens the energy body in a unique way so you can access deeper parts of yourself and build new neural pathways. \nThese workshops are a simple way to explore Kundalini yoga both for those new to Kundalini and for those needing a revival in their existing practice. You get both the physical benefits of a dynamic flow\, as well as the more direct meditative/spiritual effects from Kundalini. \nIris Straume teaches Kundalini Fusion originally created by her teacher Vidya J.

Come and learn for yourself! \nAttending one 2 hour workshop is a great introduction to the practice.\nAttending all three workshops will better integrate the practice in your life if you wish to practice it on your own. \nAbout Iris\nIris started practicing yoga at the age of 19. She has explored a myriad of different styles\, and most of her training is in the dynamic styles of yoga. Ashtanga has been her main practice for many years\, and in recent years Kundalini yoga and meditation has become important ingredients in her practice. Iris has taught yoga for six years\, and full time since 2018. She teaches weekly classes at Hiyoga\, as well as workshops\, trainings\, and retreats. Her practice and teachings are based on the principle that there are several paths leading to the same end\, and that is liberation through dedicated\, sustained practice.

SUMMARY:Time to Talk: Being Female\, Muslim and Black
DESCRIPTION:Unpacking biases \nHow much attention do you pay to the narrative about Muslim women in the media? Ask yourself\, how are they described? How much of it do you believe? \nAs a society\, we stand up for women’s and LBGTQI+-rights\, we fight against the discrimination of black people\, and in recent times\, we have heated debates about anti-Muslim hate. Yet\, we often forget that people can and do belong to all of these categories at the same time. \nWithin different movements\, people belonging to all these groups are often expected to leave one or more of their identities behind\, while\, in the real world\, they are facing challenges of discrimination\, biases\, prejudices and racism because of the entirety of their being. \nJoin us for a discussion with our guest\, Sahra Hirsi about her experience as a Black Muslim woman in Norway. She will be talking about how she navigates the society and challenge some of the stereotypes and biases our broader community holds. \nAbout Sahra Hirsi\nSahra holds a bachelor degree in English language and literature from Oslo University (UiO)\, and is currently completing a second bachelor degree in educational psychology and a master degree in international education and sustainability. \nSahra has worked as a teacher\, board member and treasurer of the African Student Association at UiO and is currently the Vice President of the Somali Student Forening. Moreover\, Sahra lauched her own podcast\, Spoken by Sahra\, this year\, where she invites different speakers to discuss issues such as racism and Islamophobia.

DESCRIPTION:Daisy from Warmfolk gives us another creative evening with a session crafting aprons. \nIn this session we will step up in size and confidence. Bring your favorite fabric or pick from Daisy’s vibrant collection. You will need 1 meter of fabric for each apron\, and 1 meter of each of your fabrics if you would like it double-sided. \nWe are leveling up our sewing confidence by tackling a more advanced project. A well designed apron can also improve your kitchen goddess skills but don’t fret\, you can make an apron for your cook in the kitchen to show your love. \nYou’re welcome to bring your machine but sewing stations will be ready when you arrive. \nCost: NOK300\nMax attendees: 8 \n\n*To reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection\, we are taking precautions to keep participants safe and decrease exposure to the virus. \nBefore attending this event\, please be aware of the following rules: \n\nOnly participants who have purchased a ticket beforehand are able to attend\, in order to help us ensure having a safe number of people in our space at any time.\nPlease wash your hands or use antibacterial solution for at least 20 secs when you arrive at HerSpace.\nPlease keep a minimum of 1-meter distance to all persons and wear a mask when that is not possible.\nShared equipment\, including yoga mats\, paint brushes\, toys\, will be disinfected directly after use.
