On May 21, we celebrate German Diversity Day, and I want to take this opportunity to highlight the often-unseen efforts toward diversity and integration. The EITEP Euro Institute for Information and Technology Transfer in Environmental Protection believes that diversity and integration provide immense value to society. Especially in times of skilled labor shortages, it's essential to integrate every individual into our community. We have already demonstrated our commitment to this by signing the Diversity Charter (Charta der Vielfalt e.V.) some time ago. Our goal is to make participation in our professional events accessible to everyone. Therefore: 🌟 We accommodate physical limitations, for example, by ensuring step-free access and providing high-contrast, large texts. 🌟 We cater to needs that meet religious, cultural, and physical requirements. 🌟 We provide specialized rooms to meet various needs of participants. 🌟 We support participants even before their arrival, such as assisting with visa acquisition and ensuring our event websites and offers are consistently accessible. 🌟 We are open to addressing any concerns brought to our attention. If you have any questions about accessibility or specific needs, please feel free to contact us at any time. We strive to accommodate you as much as possible. Let's live and strengthen diversity together! #VoteForDiversity #GDD #DiversityDay2024 #Inclusion #DiversityInPipeline #GlobalWomenInPipeline #DiversityInPipeline #Accessibility #Integration #ptc2025 #ptcBerlin

Today, we recognize World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development - a day to acknowledge the world’s cultural diversity and the importance of open dialogue in bridging gaps, which is critical for promoting peace and fostering sustainable development. At Blue Beyond, we live by one of our purpose statements - we must "live as global citizens, cherishing our common humanity and respecting our diversity." We practice our commitment through courageous conversations in the workplace where these discussions serve as a platform for open, honest, curious, and self-reflective communication. As we navigate an increasingly interconnected and VUCA world, let's take this opportunity to remember to dialogue. By promoting tolerance, respect, and understanding, we can pave the way for a more inclusive and sustainable society. #culturaldiversity #inclusion #respect #understanding

"Be a man," they say!   What does it really mean?   Over the years, the concept of masculinity has evolved. While society's expectations have traditionally revolved around strength, resilience, and success, the narrative is changing. As we approach International Men's Day, we're reminded that 'being a man' now encompasses more. It's about transcending traditional ideals to embrace empathy, equality, and emotional well-being.   A special acknowledgment goes to Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, who started International Men's Day in Trinidad and Tobago in 1999 to honor his father's birthday. Twenty-five years later, the day is celebrated on 19th November in over 80 countries—a testament to the growing importance of reflecting on the role of men in our evolving society. Today is unique to celebrate positive role models who lead with integrity, support others, and value relationships.   This year's theme, Positive Role Models, feels especially relevant. I don't have to look far when I think of role models. I'm fortunate to work alongside men who embody this new definition of masculinity—men who lead by example, mentor others, advocate for inclusivity, and challenge traditional stereotypes. These are men who understand that true fulfillment lies in compassion, openness, and a commitment to building a better future for all.   Here's to all the men who are courageously redefining masculinity, breaking barriers, and supporting one another. Your efforts are not unnoticed, and we thank you 🫡   Happy International Men's Day!   #InternationalMensDay #RedefiningMasculinity #InclusiveLeadership #StrengthInEmpathy #LupinValues #BeAMan #PositiveRoleModels

This day reminds us of the incredible richness of the world's cultures and the critical importance of intercultural dialogue in achieving peace and sustainable development. Did you know? The cultural and creative sector provides over 48 million jobs worldwide, almost half of which are held by women, contributing 6.2% to total employment and 3.1% to global GDP. Despite this significant impact, the sector often lacks the recognition it deserves in public policies and international cooperation. 💻 On Assortis you can find #projects & #tenders about #CulturalDiversity.  Let's build bridges between cultures and create a world where everyone feels valued and heard. ⬇️ Share your stories, experiences and initiatives that celebrate the beauty of cultural diversity and inspire others! #Assortis #internationaldevelopment #internationalcooperation #development #cooperation #platform #interculturaldialogue #sustainabledevelopment #UNESCO #WorldDiversityDay #OneHumanity #DialogueForDevelopment
