SUMMARY:Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace: Ableism
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\nIn honour of World Autism Acceptance Month\, our topic for April is Ableism. You are not the norm. How we uphold ableist systems and why we should stop.\n  \nWe live in a world that is inherently ableist because the systems and structures put in place were not made keeping people with disabilities in mind. Autistic activist Lydia X. Z. Brown describes ableism as the “oppression\, prejudice\, stereotyping\, or discrimination against disabled people on the basis of actual or presumed disability.” It is the belief that disabled people are inferior to their more able-bodied or able-minded counterparts. \nThe panel discussion will cover how we enable and uphold ableist systems and how we can dismantle such systems in our workplaces. \nSpeakers to be announced soon! \nThis event is FREE to attend and will be held digitally.  Please register HERE to receive the zoom link. \nThis event is supported by the Nordic Talks.

SUMMARY:Nordic Diversity\, Inclusion and Equality – What does intersectionality have to do with it?
DESCRIPTION:The Blaze Inclusion Awards celebrate and illuminate the trailblazers – individuals and organizations – who actively and passionately uplift Diversity\, Inclusion\, Equity and Belonging (DEIB) initiatives in their workspaces\, communities and society overall. \nBlaze panel discussions will follow nominations and voting periods for the Blaze Inclusion awards and will take on important DEIBJ topics featuring speakers from 8 Nordic countries. \n\nThe topic for the second Blaze panel discussion is Nordic Diversity\, Inclusion and Equality – What does intersectionality have to do with it? \nIntersectionality is a term coined by Professor Kimberley Crenshaw. It is an analytical framework for understanding how a person’s social or political identity such as ethnicity\, race\, social class\, gender identity\, sexual orientation\, and other facets of social stratification combine to create different modes of privilege and discrimination. \nThe speakers for the discussion are: \n\nWinta Negassi\, Head of HR\, Northern Europe LCS at Google from Norway;\nGreg Fernando\, Founder of New to Sweden from (Sweden);\nMiriam Petra Ómarsdóttir Awad\, Senior advisor at the Icelandic Center for Research (Rannís) from Iceland;\nKarolina Clarke\, Head of Diversity and Inclusion at WSAudiology from Denmark\n\nThe session will be moderated by Chisom Udeze\, Founder of Diversify & Herspace. \nRead more about Blaze Inclusion Awards here! \nThis event is FREE to attend and will be held digitally.  Please register HERE to receive the zoom link. \nThis event is supported by the Nordic Talks. \n\nMiriam Petra Ómarsdóttir Awad \nMiriam is an Icelandic anti-racism educator and activist. Miriam has lived her entire life in Iceland and has a mixed background\, as her mother is Icelandic and her father was originally from Egypt. Her experiences of not fitting into the „mold“ of what it means to be Icelandic has greatly influenced her life. During her master‘s degree Miriam studied Nordic exceptionalism\, colonialism and the Icelandic national identity in relation with prejudice in Iceland. There\, her research subject centered on the effects of racism and prejudice on self-identities of Icelandic women with Middle Eastern backgrounds. Miriam currently works at the Icelandic National Agency for Erasmus+ where she is the agency‘s Inclusion and Diversity officer. Since spring 2021 Miriam has hosted workshops and lectures on racism and cultural prejudice in Iceland in her personal time\, but as an Icelandic person with a mixed background she draws from my own personal experiences as well as her professional experience working with the subject of inclusion and diversity. Miriam has written for Icelandic newspapers and magazines on the subject of intersectionality\, racism and prejudice and has been consulted on national TV on the subject. \nKarolina Clarke \nKarolina (she/her) is a global DEI leader with a passion for promoting diversity\, equity\, and inclusion in the workplace. Karolina’s educational and professional background formed a solid foundation necessary to drive meaningful change. She holds a Master of Social Science degree in Political Communication & Management\, as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and Philosophy\, both from Copenhagen Business School. Karolina’s extensive experience working with global organizations like A.P. Moller – Maersk\, KPMG Denmark\, and Nordea\, as well as her current role at WSAudiology\, has given her a deep understanding of the complexities involved in promoting DEI at a global level. \nPrivately\, Karolina was born and raised in Poland\, and currently lives in Copenhagen with her husband and daughter. \nGreg Fernando \nGreg is the founder of the NGO New to Sweden\, which works to help internationals integrate into the Swedish labour market and within the Swedish community. A vocal proponent of newcomer rights\, Greg has delivered talks to employers like Google\, SEB\, Vattenfall and Spotify. He recently co-founded the Swedish 1046 Inclusion Campaign\, which brought together over 15 organizations working in the DEI and integration space to create conversations about intersectionality and inclusion nationwide. \nOriginally from Canada\, Greg has been living in Sweden for almost 10 years and has experienced many issues facing newcomers and people of colour first hand. He now leverages his previous HR and recruiting experience to not only help newcomers find work in Sweden\, but to also help employers attract and retain international talent. \nModerator: Chisom Udeze \n\nChisom is an Economist\, a Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Strategist\, and a 3 times founder of impact driven companies. She has over 14 years of experience working with organizations like the European Commission\, The United Nations\, ExxonMobil and The Economist Group. Chisom is analytical and a data enthusiast.

SUMMARY:Inclusive by Design: Bridging the gap between theory and practice
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, many organizations have introduced mandatory Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging trainings and various internal and external initiatives to address the identified challenges. But the potential of driving true inclusion and belonging goes far beyond that. \nWhen we create or amend a service\, product\, digital tool\, or anything else – it can be inclusive by design. It is possible to start creating in a way that ensures inclusion and accessibility for ALL people. \nBut what does that mean in reality? \nJoin Diversify and Designit to learn about inclusive design and how to translate your theoretical understanding of DEIB principles into practical action\, which can drive meaningful change and foster a sense of belonging for all individuals. We will share our thoughts and tangible examples of how to bridge the gap between theory and practice. \nJoin us for this breakfast seminar on June 23 at 8.30 am at Akersbakken 12. This session is free to attend. It is a hybrid event.\nBreakfast included. The agenda for the morning and speakers will be announced soon! \n\nThis event is FREE to attend.  Please register HERE.

SUMMARY:Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace: LGBTQIA+ – Inclusion\, Intersectionality & Equity
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\nIn June\, we’re celebrating Pride Month and we’re discussing Inclusion\, Intersectionality & Equity within the LGBTQIA+ community. \nOur speakers for the session are Nathalie Håkenstad (She/Her)\, Account Manager & Glamazon Co-Lead for Nordics\, Justin Hester (They/Them)\, Vice President of Customer Value\, Insights\, & Industries\, and Emil Novák-Tót (He/Him)\, DEIB Researcher and Activist. The discussion is moderated by Chisom Udeze(She/Her)\, DEIB Strategist\, Diversify & HerSpace Founder.  \nThis event is FREE to attend and will be held digitally.  Please register below to receive the zoom link. \n\nSpeakers:\nNathalie Håkenstad (She/Her) | Account Manager & Glamazon co-lead for Nordics \n\n \n\n\n\nNathalie Håkenstad (she/her) is an Amazon Web Services Enterprise Account Manager\, Glamazon co-lead for Nordics and board member for women@Amazon Nordics and BEN Nordics\, driving ID&E discussions and initiatives forward not only internally within Amazon Web Services but also with partners and customers. \n\n\n\n\nWith more then 20 year experience within IT\, she is also actively campaigning for Human Right Rights\, focusing on LGBTQ+ community\, and is a board member of FossePride\, which was founded by her then 14 year old daughter Isabella. \n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \nJustin Hester (They/Them) | Vice President of Customer Value\, Insights\, & Industries \n\n\n \n\n\nJustin Hester (they/them) is Vice President of Customer Value\, Insights\, and Industries at Cognite\, leading a global team that empowers industrial companies to view data through the lens of business outcomes\, with a specific focus on helping executives effect strategic change and drive top-line and bottom-line improvements across their organizations. \n\n\n\nPrior to Cognite\, Justin led a global team at PTC that consulted on digital transformation strategies\, leveraging their 17+ years of manufacturing innovation and leadership experience to provide hands-on recommendations resulting in $1B+ in new revenues and cost improvements for partner firms. Justin is passionate about intersectional workplace inclusivity and LGBTQIA+ issues\, and is a firm believer that everyone should work in a team and environment that allows them to freely be their authentic self at work. Justin holds an MBA\, a Master of Industrial and Systems Engineering\, and a BS in Computer Engineering & Industrial Robotics. \n  \nEmil Novák-Tót (He/Him) | DEIB Researcher and Activist \n \n\n\n\nEmil Novák-Tót (he/him) is a researcher and DEIB practitioner with about seven years of experience in linguistic and socio-psychological research in speech\, stereotypes\, charisma\, power\, belonging and related workplace dynamics. \n\n\n\nHe has worked as a researcher at Develop Diverse almost from its founding\, where he has built much of the theoretical and practical frameworks of the flagship software and surrounding services. He has contributed to designing\, writing and delivering inclusive language workshops at universities and global companies alike. He is also dedicated to contributing to employee-led initiatives and advising leadership on DEIB\, both internally and as an external advisor at CBS. \nAt the dynamic and ever-changing overlaps of various marginalised and privileged identities (white\, trans\, immigrant\, disabled\, neurodivergent)\, Emil strives to combine lived experience expertise and research in ways that are ethical and sustainable. He tries his best to approach topics of DEIB with bias-consciousness\, an open and inquisitive mindset\, radical honesty\, and from a place of critical sensitivity to how today’s inequalities have been shaped by a still ongoing history of violent Western colonisation. \nHis current fixation is trans liberation and why it’s one of two major prerequisites to gender equality. (The other one is anti-racism\, and the short answer is “because of white supremacy”). \n  \n\nModerator: Chisom Udeze | DEIB Strategist & Founder of Diversify and HerSpace\nChisom is an Economist\, a Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Strategist\, and a 3 times founder of impact driven companies.

SUMMARY:DEIB Digital Certification Courses
DESCRIPTION:With the heightened urgency for diverse\, equitable\, inclusive\, and sustainable workplaces\, companies\, leaders\, and employees seek concrete\, actionable\, effective\, and measurable outcomes to their initiatives. In today’s world\, an organization’s culture is imperative to its success. Building an inclusive culture requires the responsibility and ownership of all stakeholders\, including leaders\, managers\, HR\, and employees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA diverse\, equitable\, and inclusive workplace in which people feel a sense of belonging is both a business and an ethical imperative.
