Summary

The project EMBRACIVE “Embracing Diversity and Fostering Inclusion in the Workplace” aims to promote diversity in the business sector both in Greece and in Cyprus through the support and promotion of the Diversity Charter.
The project focuses on the need to create anti-discrimination practices – beyond legislation – and to link anti-discrimination actions to promoting diversity. In Greece and Cyprus, there are challenges that are inherent in both countries from a political, cultural and economic point of view (eg. increasing number of refugees and migrants living and working in both countries, increasing levels of poverty, etc.).
Promoting diversity and integration will be possible through a deep understanding of how to manage and address diversity in private businesses, as well as identifying their challenges and needs, so that business tools can be developed to incorporate the principles of the Charter into business practices and the promotion of the principles of integration and diversity.

Project outputs

– the creation of a diversity management toolkit for private companies and its pilot implementation – educational activities,
– skills development and
– raising awareness of the business world (conferences, publications, website, etc.).
