How to make Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) trainings Effective

-How many of you have received training? Tell us about the experience.

Studies have shown equity-minded faculty are engaged while training does not reach faculty that are not already on the bandwagon – they remain uninspired.

Suggestions for getting everyone on board!

1) Alignment and Diversification: common definitions and common goals, but with an awareness that you have varied amounts of experiences and needs, and interests.

2) All In Model: all educators at all levels teaching all subjects have an active role in this initiative.

3) Open Discussion: this is a space for conversation and discussion. These conversations have very little finality.

4) Reflection: It is important to look in the mirror through a process of seeing bias, unlearning, and learning.

5) Big Picture: connect the micro level initiatives to a larger strategic plan

6) Make this focus a priority and connect it to multiple initatives.

Before my family bought a television set, it was radio that I stayed glued to. I must have been 10 years old, or maybe 9. My grandfather, uncle and I would sit close to a massive analogue radio. One of them delicately held the dial between the thumb and the index finger, fine-tuning, ear close to the speaker, listening carefully for a clear sentence of English amid the sizzle and the crackle of radio signals. A clear signal that lasted for barely a minute put a huge smile on our faces.

Back in the late 1970s, the rectangular machine was our window into the world, a world we had never been to.

Sometimes I listened to a cricket commentary for a game played in New Zealand, Or the news from BBC London. Every once in a while the radio caught a station that wasn't English, but I listened anyway. A foreign language from thousands of miles away - how exotic!

This week I stumbled upon a new website on the Internet called Radio Garden. Curious, I clicked on it and a globe started spinning before my eyes. It looked similar to Google Earth. Then I zoomed into the northeast part of the United States. And then a radio station started playing. On the bottom left side of the screen it said, Lewiston, United States. This is about 30 miles from Brunswick, Maine, where I now live. On the bottom right side, it said WRBC. The Bates College radio station was playing.

I planned to move the cursor halfway around the world to my homeland but first I dropped in on Tehran, Iran. My screen now said Radio Hamdam. I couldn't understand a word of the song, but the rhythm was upbeat, the kind of music you'd listen to while running on a treadmill. After two songs, I then wandered to Ghana. Highlife Radio Ghana, Kokrokoo FM 90.5 was on my screen. This seemed to be a talk show. Two guys were talking in a language unknown to me, but one of them was speaking in an animated voice, the other was laughing hysterically. They reminded me of Tom and Ray Magliozzi from Car Talk.

To find out more about Radio Garden, I contacted Jonathan Puckey, who is based in Netherlands and is one of the people behind this project.

"The main idea is to help radio makers and listeners connect with distant cultures and re-connect with people from home and thousands of miles away," he told me. So far, some 8,000 stations have signed on.

The website just launched this Monday, and it's got a few glitches. Not every station is located in the right place on the map. For example, if you point at a dot in Texas to listen to a Lone Star broadcast, you might get a station from Russia.

Puckey said he's already being inundated by calls from around the world: "Just yesterday, 300 stations requested to be added. It's going viral. We were not expecting it to be this big. There are 56,000 page views per minute. We have a meeting tomorrow to see how we are going to manage this."

He also told me that Radio Garden is funded with public money from the Netherlands Institute of Sound and Vision and that there is no commercial aspect to the project right now.

I thanked him, ended the call and moved the cursor to Lahore, Pakistan. I had never listened to a Pakistani radio station, although it's a country next door to my native India. I was hoping to find an Urdu language station - I can understand Urdu. Only "Somebody to Love" by Jordan Smith was playing. I wondered if this was one of the geographic glitches that Puckey was talking about. I stayed on the station for a few more minutes and heard a Pakistani host with a fake American accent. He threw in a sentence in Urdu later. It wasn't a mistake. It was a station in Lahore, Pakistan, that played songs by American singers. The next song was "Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd.

I took the cursor to India and put it in New Delhi, India. A Hindi devotional song was playing. The bottom left of the screen said, 10.57 p.m., New Delhi. On the right: Bollywood Radio. I couldn't help but smile.

The whole experience of tuning into stations on Radio Garden was exactly like the analog radio I used to tune several decades ago. Even the crackle and interference of other stations sounded the same. The only difference was that I was using the track pad of my laptop - not the radio dial.

I thought about how Jonathan Puckey described Radio Garden's idea of connecting listeners with distant cultures and re-connecting people with their roots. I found it funny and true. Back in India, when I was little, I used radio to connect with faraway places. Now living in the U.S., I was using Radio Garden to go home again.

A List of Popular Ted Talks About Ethnic Diversity

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The recent world news have firmly put the spotlight on the systemic and overt racism that is sadly still the experience for so many people of colour today globally. In order to drive long-lasting change, we need to better understand how this plays out in organisations.

TED Talks are a great source to hear about first-hand experiences, gripping stories and a variety of perspectives, passionately and effortlessly delivered by amazing speakers from around the globe.

We've compiled a list of talks on ethnic diversity and how we can challenge unconscious bias and truly move the needle on ensuring diversity, inclusion and belonging for people of all races, ethnicity, religions, nationality and gender.

1. How to get serious about diversity and inclusion in the workplace, by Janet Stovall

When it comes to business, diversity and inclusion are not simply "nice to have," they're essential components for long-term success. But even with the best of intentions, most corporate diversity initiatives fail. In this candid talk, inclusion advocate Janet Stovall shares a three-part action plan for creating workplaces where people feel safe and expected to be their unassimilated, authentic selves.
Watch full TED Talk here.

2. Colour blind or colour brave? by Mellody Hobson

In this talk, Mellody Hobson, argues the time has time to become "comfortable with the uncomfortable conversation about race., and ignoring an issue will never help to solve it - instead, it can only make the things worse. She encourages everyone to speak more openly about race, to encourage change on a personal, professional and societal level, as a whole. Watch full TED Talk here.

3. How to Outsmart Your Own Unconscious Bias, by Valerie Alexander

The human brain is a remarkable achievement in evolution. Unfortunately, the brain activity that kept the human species alive for millions of years is the same brain activity that keeps us from achieving equality today. Author, speaker and CEO, Valerie Alexander, explains how the human brain instinctively reacts when encountering the unexpected, and proposes that if we have the courage to examine our own behaviour when faced with the unfamiliar, we can take control of our expectations, and by doing so, change the world. Watch full TED Talk here.

4. How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly toward them - Vernā Myers

Diversity advocate Vernā Myers looks closely at some of the subconscious attitudes we hold toward out-groups. She makes a plea to all people: Acknowledge your biases. Then move toward, not away from, the groups that make you uncomfortable. In a funny, impassioned, important talk, she shows us how to confront prejudice and start reprogramming our mindsets. Watch full TED Talk here.

5. Three ways to be a better ally in the workplace - Melinda Epler

When change advocate and writer Melinda Epler became the victim of workplace "microaggressions" that eroded her confidence and ability to perform her job, she began to champion the importance of diversity as a core corporate value rather than a mere "side project."

"There's no magic wand for correcting diversity and inclusion," she says. "Change happens one person at a time, one act at a time, one word at a time." Epler's story and succinct advice will appeal to human resources managers, team leaders, and anyone who wants to become a better ally, employee or person. Watch full TED Talk here.

In rural central California, newcomer teacher Efraín Tovar connects language learning with computer science through an app-development project where his multilingual middle school students learn how to code-in tandem with learning English. This practice of encouraging recent immigrant students with limited English proficiency to engage with technology gives them a chance to demonstrate their fluency in creative ways.

The students use a range of tools in their classroom, such as Lightbot.com for entry-level programming puzzles, Code.org for free CS curriculum resources, and MIT App Inventor for student-friendly app-development projects.

One of the goals this week is to give you all the time to come up with a plan for how you will specifically implement inclusion and embrace diversity in your classrooms.

I would suggest that you approach crafting your plan by answering the following questions.

1) Identify an initiative to prioritize. Why have you selected it?

2) Describe a project that you will create to support that initiative.

3) Identify the specific ICT tool that you will use in your project and how you will use it?

4) What is your timeline and the expected outcome? How is this change/addition going to benefit your students, your colleagues, and yourself?

Note: If you would rather focus on larger policy changes, that is fine too. It very much depends where you are in this process of implementing inclusion in your classrooms. Whatever you do, make it manageable and specific with a clear timeline and clear goals.

Also, if you want to stray from the above questions, that is absolutely fine. Remember, this time to plan is for your use!

If it is helpful for when we go around the room to share our ideas - feel free to answer these four questions in the "Share" section of Padlet.

The Four New Erasmus+ Horizontal Priorities | By Europass

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Tailor your Erasmus Plus project with the four Erasmus+ horizontal priorities in mind to have more chance of approval

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Being the most funded Action in the Erasmus+ programme, Key Action 1 provides thousands of individuals with a unique opportunity for international mobility every year.

If you're involved in an organization working in the field of education, training, youth or sport, you can apply for Erasmus+ funds and take part in a meaningful experience abroad.

Let's discover which are the main opportunities in the fields of school education and vocational education and training (VET) and how to make the most of them.

KA1: Opportunities for Schools

Teachers and all staff in charge of school education in primary schools, secondary school and higher education (also vocational education and training, schools for adult education and youths) can apply for funding to run mobility projects to offer training and/or teaching opportunities to staff and learners.

Check out our +300 training courses for teachers in the most beautiful European cities.

Pupils mobility

If you want to provide your pupils with an exciting experience abroad, you can choose between three kinds of learner mobility:

Group mobility of school pupils (at least 2 pupils per group, from 2 to 30 days) - your pupils can study in a hosting school abroad or at the seat of an Institution of the EU, and they must be accompanied by their teachers for the whole duration;

Short-term learning mobility of pupils (from 10 to 29 days) period of study at a partner school or traineeship at a relevant organization abroad;

Long-term learning mobility of school pupils (30 to 365 days) period of study or traineeship abroad with an obligatory pre-departure training.

Moreover, all physical mobility activities can be blended with virtual ones.

Are you looking for a host partner for your pupils' mobility? Check Europass Student Academy, we will help you plan an amazing experience abroad for your students.

Invited Expert - Training Course and Support

The Erasmus+ Programme, in its Key Action 1 (KA1), also supports a mobility activity called Invited Expert. In the same KA1 Application where your school can ask for funds to send their staff and students abroad, you can also invite experts from another Programme country. This mobility activity is particularly useful as it allows every teacher from your school to take part in a training course directly in their hometown.

Who is an expert?

The new Erasmus Programme Guide says that experts are "trainers, teachers, policy experts or other qualified professionals from abroad who can help improve the teaching, training and learning at the receiving organization" (Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2022 p. 88). The invited experts may provide training to all the staff of your institution, helping the teachers in implementing new teaching methodologies as well as transferring good practices in organization and management.

Why should you invite an expert?

If you are going to apply for a short-term KA1 project, or for accreditation, we suggest that you include at least one expert visiting your school in your application. Indeed, in the past, the European Commission has shown great appreciation for projects which have implemented the most relevant changes in the Erasmus+ Programme.

Invite a Europass expert

Have you applied for the new Erasmus+ opportunity "Invited expert" in your project? Are you looking for the right expert for your school?

We have many qualified trainerslocated all over Europe who are specialized in a large variety of subjects. If you're in doubt about which training is more urgent for your school, have a look at our catalogue, we offer more than 300 teacher training courses!

Once you've chosen the main topic of your course, our staff will find the most suitable professional among our trainers. We will then design a teacher training experience responding to your specific needs.

Europass trainers will be available at your school for a minimum of 2 days to 6 days max for €250,00 per day. Your school is also required to cover travel expenses and the cost of accommodation for the trainer during the course.

KA1: Opportunities for Vocational Education and Training - study visits

Not only schools and universities can apply for learning mobility for students and staff, but providers of vocational education and training (VET) can also participate in staff and learners' mobility. If your organization aims to prepare young people and adults for specific occupations or for the job market in general, you can apply within the VET sector.

Staff mobility

Among KA1 activities, there are also professional development courses for teachers/trainers and invited experts.

We have implemented some courses regarding the vocational and training-based education of several European nations. These VET courses are designed to become more specific according to participants' needs and requests.

Learners mobility

Not only do VET learners have the same mobility opportunities as school pupils:

Group mobility of VET learners (at least 2 learners per group, from 2 to 30 days) - they can learn together with their peers in a hosting VET provider abroad, and they must be accompanied by their teachers all along;

Short- and long-term learning mobility of VET learners (from 10 to 365 days) period of learning with a strong work-based component at a partner VET provider, or in a company abroad;

But they can also take part in VET skills competitions: international sectoral events aimed at promoting and recognizing professional skills, know-how, and technological innovations in VET.

Erasmus+ Accreditation & Short-term applications

There are two different procedures through which you can access the Erasmus KA1: the accreditation or the short-term project application, let's see the difference.

Erasmus+ Accreditation

In order to get the grant continuously for the entire duration of the new Erasmus+ Programme (2021-2027), each school, or a consortium of schools, can apply for Erasmus+ Accreditation. When requesting accreditation, you must state that your school complies with the Erasmus quality standards, and illustrate the internationalization strategy of your school for the following five years. Once accredited, your school will have facilitated access to mobility funds for the following 5 years, by presenting a budget request in line with the school development plan outlined in the Accreditation application.

Short-term project applications

However, if your school didn't manage to get accredited this year (the deadline is usually in October), you still have many opportunities to participate in the Programme this year. For instance, your school can:

apply for short-term projects that last from 6 to 18 months and can include up to 30 participants in mobility;

join a consortium that has already been accredited;

act as a hosting organization for another accredited foreign school.

Institutions from Erasmus+ Programme Countries can submit a mobility project application to the National Agency in their country, check the deadlines!

By joining eTwinning, teachers and other school staff will become part of the 'Community for schools in Europe' and benefit from endless opportunities.

Collaborate with and get inspired by other colleagues in Europe

In eTwinning, teachers organise and run on-site and online activities with their students along with colleagues from countries participating in the Erasmus+ programme. They engage in collaborative projects with the support of the TwinSpace environment. National Support Organisations are responsible for validating user registrations for becoming eTwinners, thus keeping the platform safe, providing support and guidance, and recognising teachers' work with National and European Quality Labels. The annual eTwinning book features the most innovative projects. Excellent projects are rewarded eTwinning European Prizes and become part of the project gallery.

Share with peers

The eTwinning community is made up of thousands of teachers and educators who share a vision of inclusive schools, using information and communication technology in a meaningful way, and making the most of 21st-century skills. eTwinners meet and network online, at school, at eTwinning events and conferences, and wherever they can inspire other teachers to better educate students. On the European School Education Platform, the eTwinning area offers project kits, practice examples, testimonials, and an online environment where eTwinners can communicate, create projects, share, and learn together at their own pace in line with their interests.

Upskill together

Lifelong learning is essential for teachers and eTwinning community members benefit from webinars, short and long online courses (including MOOCs), self-teaching materials, conferences, and other on-site professional development opportunities where they meet experts in many fields and improve their skills. These events allow teachers to network, learn together, and feel part of the same community.

eTwinning also provides opportunities for future teachers to get support when starting their careers.

Promote and celebrate

Like all communities, eTwinning has key events. A yearly theme is the focus of two online campaigns - in spring and autumn - where eTwinners share ideas, plan projects, produce materials, and learn together. And every year on 9 May, the community celebrates Europe Day as eTwinning Day with activities that make eTwinners feel part of something unique, wherever they are.

Become a protagonist

eTwinning Ambassadors are the pillars of the community. They are selected at a national level, provide training and support and share their energy and enthusiasm, making eTwinning grow every day. Get information from your National Support Organisations about how to become one of them!

The schools that are awarded the eTwinning Schools Label are models of the principles that inspire eTwinning, shared leadership, collaboration and sharing, students as agents of change, inclusion, and pedagogical innovation. Stay tuned to see when applications open!

Anyone can become an eTwinning Ambassador, and any school can get the eTwinning School Label.

What does the eTwinning platform offer?

eTwinners can network, share, and collaborate with other registered eTwinners and schools by connecting through the social networking features offered, and by engaging in Rooms, eTwinning groups, and European projects.

Rooms are micro-groups that allow eTwinners to take part in video-conferencing sessions supported by a forum and a file archive.

eTwinning groups are virtual places where eTwinners meet and discuss specific subjects, topics, or other areas of interest. Featured Groups are groups coordinated by the CSS and moderated by experienced eTwinners).

eTwinning projects include activities on different topics and key competences involving two or more teachers and their students. Each project has its own TwinSpace, a free-to-use, safe platform that is only accessible to other eTwinning members in the project, your selected guests, and your selected pupils.

eTwinners can also join the online professional development opportunities organised by the European School Education Platform. Some of these offers will be tailored to the specific interests and needs of eTwinners and be available exclusively to them:

Short online courses are intense and enjoyable and introduce teachers to a topic, stimulate ideas, and help them develop their skills.

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are 4-6 weeks in length and require 12 - 25 hours of learning time during this period. Participants are free to conduct the activities at a time of their convenience during the duration of the course. A certificate is offered upon successful completion.

Webinars are live one-hour long online video sessions where teachers have the chance to learn about and discuss a variety of themes.

Webinar series are two webinar sessions that are connected by an interactive online activity.

Online conferences and events are designed for and dedicated to specific target audiences and themes.

You are not eligible to join eTwinning?

Only school staff can join the eTwinning community. If you are not a member of staff at a school, you can still enjoy and network in other sections of the European School Education Platform free of charge. Discover all these opportunities here. eTwinners can invite non-eTwinners to specific projects.
