ValoDi, Valorisation of Diversity Skills focus on diversity of people in organisations.
ValoDi addresses additionally diversity in management and strategic planning. Diversity and equality of people refer to themes of gender, sexual orientation, health, disability, language, ethnic and cultural background, age and convictions, values and opinions. The emphasis is on the legal rights and the integration of all people in the community and workplace as resources. Diversity competence stands for skills that can be identified, assessed, learnt and further developed.
The project aims at developing teachers’, trainers’, workplace instructors’, HR professionals’, and management professionals’ competence to systematically draw these and other aspects of diversity into the workplace as resources that support innovation and organisational development.
ValoDi addresses directly the skills’ and competence development required in the increasingly diverse and segregating circumstances of modern European societies.
The consortium consists of partners from Finland, Spain, Norway, Italy, Poland, Latvia and Austria.
