Workshop

Given by Rein Meirte & Elke Kraemer, Certified Including Behavior Trainers. Developed by Dr. Carolin Ossenkop & Dr. Hans van Dijk at the Including Behavior Insitute.

  • In the workshop we go through an exercise to experience hierarchy, privilege and inclusion. The importance of diversity becomes clear through this, and puts you in a position to understand including behaviours as an active thing, instead of 'not-discriminating'.

  • In the second part of the workshop we go through reflection. We start to notice our own, and others' behaviours. The key here often sits in small gestures: the amount of time you take to talk to someone, how much eye contact you make, ... The discussion helps to understand where feelings of belonging and not-beloning come from. It's not about who you decide to actively exclude, but more about who you decide to include.

  • Based on the theory of the Legitimacy Map, we explain in the third part of the workshop why inclusion can be both a good and a bad thing, and how exclusion shouldn't always be negative. This framework opens a way to talk about values, inappropriate jokes, micro-agressions, etc. in a connecting way. What feels legitimatly inclusive depends on the context of your company culture; there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to values.

    1. Anchor the concept of inclusion through experiental learning.

    2. Understand that inclusion isn't always a good thing, and exclusion a bad one.

    3. Bring your team together through a vulnerable learning process.

    4. Developed & based on research by the Inclusive Behavior Institute.
