Dialogue Online for Inclusion

Fostering the complex process of inclusion of people with disabilities in the working force is the overarching goal of Dialogue Online for Inclusion. According to research the inclusion of people with disabilities is often hindered by the lack of encounter and interaction. Hence, creating human closeness and connection through digital dialogue is the challenge. With our new online program we intend to create an authentic learning space through the set-up of a platform where people with and without disabilities can meet and work together on common tasks. That’s the way how prejudices are reduced and misconceptions and assumptions are corrected. In consequence, security emerges in communication and human interaction with people with disabilities – from Screen to Screen in the online workshop, from Face to Face later as the implementation at the workplace.

In this way, we promote the participants' self-awareness, encourage self-reflection and develop inclusion competence for managers and teams. In addition to profound awareness of the potential of people with disabilities, Dialogue Online for Inclusion taps into the economic added value that can be developed by people with disabilities. The workshop’s success is based on direct interaction with people with disabilities in an online space. As inclusionists, they share their personal experience in inclusion with participants, which ensures a high degree of authenticity and create learning that can be transferred to the work context.

The workshop series closely examines the five dimensions of organizational culture using an approach that is dynamic, interactive, and highly experiential. The modules can be booked separately or as a whole.
