Education

In 2007 and 2008 Halleh Ghorashi has held the successful Masterclass Management of Diversity. This masterclass brought together as participants professionals working in various Dutch organizations interested in the issue of diversity and refugees residing in the Netherlands participating to the refugee empowerment project ‘Van Binnen naar Buiten’. The main goal of the masterclass was to obtain new insights on the issue of diversity in general, and specifically within organizations, by stimulating an exchange of perspectives that would help to connect seemingly disparate groups: (native) Dutch professionals and refugees in the Netherlands. The master class provided participants with a more in-depth understanding of diversity in organizations, stimulating them to create more space for agency in relation to the dominant processes of exclusion in organizations.
