CLIC: Diversity Fresco
[Places]
The Diversity Fresco is a collective intelligence workshop that allows participants to experiment with the cognitive mechanisms at work when it comes to discrimination, to discover approaches aimed at reducing it, to debate their scope and their limits, while acquiring a common vocabulary to engage in constructive dialogue and bring about a more inclusive and peaceful society. Please follow this link for more information: https://fresquedeladiversite.org/en/ Please arrive 5-10 minutes early so the workshop can start at exactly 9.30am. There will be refreshments before and during the event and a sandwich lunch after. |
