30 November: International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (Nov 25)
Interactive All Together, coordinated by Morrison & Foerster together with Gibson Dunn & Crutcher for LDIA.
The Legal Diversity & Inclusion Alliance organized an interactive and immersive workshop on Thursday November 30, in collaboration with The Bridge Theatre, Brussels, in honor of the International Day for the elimination of violence against women.
What would you do if you witnessed harassment at work or in a public space? 86% of people do not know how to react when witnessing sexual harassment. Yet a few simple techniques can help victims.
The immersive training sessions enabled participants to learn effective actions against sexual harassment through practical scenarios using a 5D Method.
LDIA bi-monthly meeting – September 21 – Workshop Understanding Cultural Agility
As we acknowledge and celebrate European Heritage days, the Legal Diversity & Inclusion Alliance was delighted to explore cultural diversity during a session co-developed and hosted by Squire Patton Boggs.
Our guest speaker, Maria Josefina Calderon, spoke to 20+ law firms about the importance of cultural agility and varying worldviews.
“In the famous words of St. Exupery’s Little Prince, “Essential things are invisible to the eye.” This is especially true when communicating across diverse cultural contexts.
“If we wish to work successfully with people from around the world, it is essential to have an appreciation of and respect for cultural differences. So it is crucial to take the time and make the effort to discover and understand the worldviews hidden below the surface of our counterparts from different parts of the world.” M.J. Calderon
