The intervention of the Diversity Unit on the organizational level is designed to help the units cope with the emergency routine and with tensions and dilemmas due to the war. This intervention can address the following areas:
-
Developing self-awareness and sensitivity towards our colleagues.
-
Providing professional tools for conduct and management in a professional space characterized by diverse identities, attitudes, and behaviors.
-
Providing professional tools for effective interpersonal and organizational communication in times of crisis and conflict.
-
Providing professional tools for coping in interfaces and encounters between students and administrative and academic staff members.
The specific intervention will be tailored to the unit’s needs, and may occur on different levels, from individual consulting through group workshops and facilitation of peer groups for learning and consulting, to comprehensive organizational consulting for an academic unit, school, department, or faculty.
The consulting intervention is based on the assumption that the knowledge and experience are already there in the university space, and that it is designed to provide a safe and secure space necessary for successful learning and joint professional development.
