Diversity in teams is not only a fact, it is also a strength, and in some cases a challenge. How can you, as an educational leader, deal with the challenges and use this strength? How can you sensitize your team, engage with the perspectives every member brings to the table, and ultimately optimize teaching and learning? And would you like to be your next step as a leader in creating more inclusive an equitable environments?
In this concise programme, you can learn more about inclusive leadership in higher education.
The Inclusive leadership Workshop is an interactive and introspective workshop based on the MIXED Model, designed for current and aspiring leaders working in education. The programme consists of two sessions of two days each and one group supervision moment. Each session has an overarching theme and requires some preparation in the form of i.e., reading an article, interviewing a team member, or watching a video. During these meetings, participants share their personal and professional experiences and discuss good practices.
We require that every participant comes to the course with a Personal Development Question. What would you like to develop in yourself as an inclusive leader at the personal, organizational, and/or strategic level? While paying attention to these three dimensions in the course, we provide a learning journey in which you will develop an Action Board on Inclusive Leadership, which summarizes what you have learned and will enable you to take the next steps as an inclusive leader after the course.
