\nSOCIAL DIVERSITY EDUCATION<\/h4>\n
\n
\nThe issue of social diversity and intercultural dialogue has been present in our activities from the beginning. Since 2010 we have been running anti-discrimination workshops for teenagers. Participants representing dominant groups (white, heterosexual, Catholic Poles) have a chance to experience what being in a minority is like, and participants who belong to minorities receive a message that who they are is ok, that they have the right to be proud of their identities and deserve equal treatment. 9dwunastych educates school and educational institution personnel as well as supports schools in creating safe environments and diversity appreciation. We also host diversity management workshops for firms and organizations.<\/li>\n
\nIn 2019 we ran a Human Library for the first time. The Human Library is an educational, anti-discrimination method developed in Denmark in 2000 and now used by many organizations all over the world. At a Human Library event every \u201creader\u201d can have a face-to-face conversation with a \u201cbook\u201d: a person from a minority, a discriminated or stereotyped group. Such conversations challenge prejudice and contribute to social understanding.<\/li>\n
\nSince 2018 we have been running a programme \u201eIn Diversity Strength!\u201d where we involve local organizations in activities for human rights, respect for social diversity and intercultural dialogue. We provide them with content support by hosting educational workshops and financially by awarding them small grants. The programme facilitates networking among organizations which value and want to promote equality.<\/li>\n
\nAn important part of our work is promoting gender equality and counteracting gender-based violence. We engage women in decision processes, promote women’s achievements and celebrate herstory. We run \u201cWen Do\u201d workskshops on assertiveness and self-defence for women and girls as well as educational workshops based on a gender equality board game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTEENAGERS<\/h4>\n
