Stronger Together In Inclusion

About us

Diversiteit in Praktijk supports diversity, inclusion, and equality working groups, ambassadors, and DEI officers in implementing policies in practice. We achieve this through training, consultancy, and year-long programs. After working with Diversiteit in Praktijk, you will have the mindset, tools, and strategies to work inclusively in a sustainable manner.

Many organizations have DIG policies, intrinsically motivated ambassadors, and an annual budget, but still encounter challenges at some point. The established working group may not know where to start, lack support within the organization, or struggle to achieve the desired results.

We help these teams and the organization by providing the right mindset, tools, and strategies. You may have heard the phrase: ‘Diversity is a fact and inclusion is a verb.’ But it’s so much more! It’s a methodology, a philosophy, a mindset, but most of all: a feeling. During our interactive trainings, participants gain a deep emotional understanding and identify their practical next steps.

We have had the privilege of working with organizations such as the DSM, Refugee Council Netherlands, Red Cross, Council of Europe, European Union, Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, Rijkswaterstaat, several municipalities (including Amsterdam, Harderwijk, Brummen, Utrecht), Leiden&Partners, Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, EPOS Vlaanderen, the Tax Authorities, ProRail, Dutch Police, Utrecht Judiciary, and Radboud University.
