This one runs as an interactive workshop: the hour includes exercises your colleagues do themselves, not only a talk.
Chances are you're straight and you've never wondered if you were born in the right body. Yet diversity and inclusion of LGBTQ+ people is a social issue. In this session, Florien tells you about the origin of prejudice, its different forms and why this affects everyone.
Florien not only shows you how diverse the subject is but by means of an interesting analogy also makes you feel what it’s really like to be different from the norm. Because what if you ended up on another planet, where all norms and values are completely different from yours?This interactive session not only provides knowledge and reflection but also time to discuss the subject and thus to think positively, diversely and inclusively.
During the expert session, Florien Cramwinckel engages the audience through methods such as storytelling, perspective-taking exercises, and interactive group activities to explore the importance of empathy and building alliances for promoting inclusivity. She emphasizes the power of understanding different experiences and shares her personal insights from her work with various marginalized communities, including the LGBTQ+ community.
Florien also encourages open conversations about sensitive topics and encourages participants to form deeper connections by asking questions and learning from one another.
Cultivating the ability to understand and empathize with individuals from diverse backgrounds is essential for building an inclusive society. Engage in exercises that help you identify with others' experiences, which can lead to deeper connections and increased understanding.
Forming deep, lasting relationships with individuals from different groups can contribute to successful intergroup understanding efforts. These alliances can last for years, creating a strong foundation for empathy, trust, and reduced prejudice.
Encouraging open-mindedness and positivity when discussing sensitive topics can lead to deeper connections and a better understanding of various experiences. By being willing to ask personal questions with care and respect, individuals can foster inclusive environments that promote empathy and acceptance.
In this expert session, Florien Cramwinckel discusses strategies for individuals who find themselves feeling isolated and unable to express themselves fully among a community unlike their own. She explains that many people might try to fit in publicly while searching for like-minded individuals with whom they can be themselves privately.
For instance, the LGBTQ+ community is one group that may experience similar feelings of isolation and the need to adapt.
Florien goes on to describe various methods used to promote intergroup understanding and reduce prejudice. The first approach, knowledge transfer, involves providing individuals with more information about minority groups to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions.
However, having increased knowledge does not necessarily lead to changed behavior. Contact interventions are another strategy that focuses on bringing individuals from different groups into contact with each other to build relationships and learn about one another's perspectives.
These interventions can be effective in reducing prejudice but depend on the nature of the contact and the presence of knowledge transfer and perspective-taking elements.
Perspective taking is a third intervention where individuals put themselves in another person's shoes to better understand their experiences and feelings. Effects may include increased empathy, reduced prejudice, and improved intergroup relations.
Building alliances between groups is also essential for bridging divides and promoting intergroup understanding. Florien emphasizes the importance of perspective taking and forming deep, lasting relationships as effective strategies for bringing about change.
Florien shares a powerful experience of empathizing with others and how it can lead to a better understanding of various communities. She believes that exercises designed to help individuals understand the experiences of those within the LGBTQ+ community have a ripple effect, allowing individuals to identify with other minority groups as well.
Florien acknowledges the challenge of measuring the long-term impact of this method due to the difficulty of randomly forcing people into friendships.
Throughout the session, Florien encourages participants to engage in activities and conversations that help them understand different perspectives. She emphasizes the potential benefits of these relationships, particularly their role in reducing prejudice and increasing empathy.
Florien also touches upon the importance of being open-minded and positive when asking questions about sensitive topics, as it can lead to deeper connections and a better understanding of various experiences.
From the survey every participant gets when the session ends, in their own words.
Het stappenplan helpt goed, het gaat iedereen aan
It is good to open up in a lot of situations
Great session
Leuke, boeiende en vlotte spreker, goed gestructureerd verhaal, techniek werkt ook uitstekend mee. Heel leuk om zo de werkdag af te sluiten.
Ik vond het heel interessant, heel verhelderend en ik vond de oefening heel nuttig en echt toegevoegde waarde leveren.
Top: lekker zo doorgaan. Duidelijk verhaal en goed samengesteld. Interactief en goed dat mensen vragen kunnen stellen om zo de interactie te borgen. Tip: eerst vragen laten beantwoorden aan het einde en daarna QR-code.
Niet alleen wetenschappelijk maar ook voelbaar betrokken bij de onderwerpen. Zou het leuk vinden als er meer nieuwe informatie in terug komt. Als je al het eea weet dan zijn er weinig verrassingen.
Hoe een perspectiefwissel in het hoofd werkt en hoe je dat praktisch kunt vormgeven. Met het ontwikkelen van empathisch vermogen ben je nooit klaar, en dit soort workshops helpen daarin altijd.
It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
Chances are you're straight and you've never wondered if you were born in the right body. Yet diversity and inclusion of LGBTQ+ people is a social issue. It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.
A workshop. The description of this session says so itself: the hour includes exercises and activities that participants do, not only an expert speaking. It still runs live and online, for as many colleagues as you want to invite.
Florien Cramwinckel is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.0 out of 5, across 131 responses, and rate Florien personally 4.3 out of 5.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Florien, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English/Dutch. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
