ENHANCE invites - Anti-Bias Lunch Breaks (online, March 14) | Gdańsk University of Technology

"We all have biases. There is nothing wrong with it. Unconscious bias affects everyone. It is important to become aware of own biases. Unconscious bias might lead to discrimination and inequality in some cases when it is not actively managed. This short training will give you the tools that you need."

"Anti-Bias Lunch Breaks" is a series of online meetings organized by the ENHANCE Alliance, aimed at combating discrimination in the workplace, at your university, and personal life. The webinars are led by Melih Özkardes - the ENHANCE Ombudsman for Diversity, who coordinates DEI - Diversity, Equity, Inclusion efforts within the Alliance.

The meetings include academic teachers, administrative staff, PhD students, and students from universities affiliated with the ENHANCE Alliance. The webinars are open to all interested individuals (not just those professionally engaged in bias prevention), for whom it is important for the university to be a place where everyone feels comfortable.

What do we discuss during the meetings? Among other things, unconscious biases, microaggressions, and intersectionality. By participating in the webinars, you can gain valuable knowledge in combating discrimination, learn new tools and techniques for managing your biases, and enhance communication skills.
