Diversity and inclusion in the workplace (Click to open link) Coursera, Feb 2017 Diversity is a fact. It is also paradoxical. We need to be capable of seeing and hearing differences in order to reap the benefits of diversity. But seeing and hearing differences hone our discriminating reflexes and can also lead to discrimination. If you take this MOOC, you will: 1. understand this paradox, 2. understand its dynamics, and 3. identify ways to manage it so that you can better channel the diversity potential in the workplace for greater performance and innovation.

Have you ever asked yourself this question? 9 Feb 2016 Through Human, Yann Arthus-Bertrand offers us an immersion to the core of what it means to be human in order to embrace the human condition and reflect upon our inherent diversity. Through these stories full of happiness, hope, love, as well as hatred and violence, HUMAN bring us face to face with the Other, making us reflect on our lives. Wars, Terrorism, LGBT issues, the meaning of life, death, love, sex and other subjects are addressed in this movie by people from all around the world, sharing a rare sincerity. The movie is a great opportunity to underline our dark side but also what is most noble in us, and what is universal.  12th October 2015 There is increased awareness of the importance of diversity in our daily reality in business and in education. Organizations are developing best practices to address diversity issues not only to reduce discrimination in the workplace but to promote inclusion and innovation. We need to look at the impact of these practices on the social environment, and how they are contributed to changes in perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. To kick-off the lunchtime conferences of the Semaine d’Engagement, we invited Chea Lun, Director of Solidarity Sourcing at L’Oréal, and Pascal Picq, a paleoanthropologist at the College de France, to join us to share their thoughts on diversity and driving change.
