D&I Education and Social Safety
At the D&I Office, we aim to truly foster an inclusive UM community by embracing its diversity and actively engaging all our community members to become part of the solution. As such, we’ve created the D&I Education webpage to further enable this fostering of inclusivity.
On this page there are three main sections, namely Resources & Inspiration, Tools & Workshops, and Inclusive Language .You can find the links to each section in the three dedicated columns down below.
Please never hesitate to inform us of any additional useful/helpful and well-balanced sources to further expand our D&I Education page.
In the spotlight: Sex and Gender - What, Why, and How?
Check out this new video created by D&I organisation UM Pride, in which sex and gender are explained.
"Gender identity can be very personal and everyone can have their own interpretation of their gender identity." - From the video.
Follow UM Pride's social media channels to stay updated on all LGBTQIA+ initiatives:
Resources & Inspiration
Are you interested in knowing more about D&I-related topics? Or would you like to get some inspiration from your fellow UM community members? Then check out this page filled with a diverse collection of all kinds of resources.
Tools & Workshops
Having the right tools to address certain topics is crucial. This is why we have collected a selection for you on this page, as well as highlighting some interesting workshops that can help broaden your knowledge, allyship, and prepare you to holistically engage with diversity and inclusivity matters within your organisation.
Do you want to have immediate conversations about D&I matters, but don’t exactly know how or where to start? We have our own Moving Conversations Toolkit!
Inclusive Language
Our world is always evolving, and so are languages and language use. With new knowledge and inclusion of marginalized groups, our language use adapts. It adapts to find appropriate terms for the world around us and terms that make sure we can address everyone. UM embraces language use that addresses everyone in general communication and that addresses individuals in a way that makes them feel seen and respected.
