RELEVANCE OF DEI�IN LANDSCAPES

The diversity, equity, and inclusion approach addresses social injustice problems at different�levels, from households to landscapes. It helps to improve and solve situations of:

  • Lack and disproportional representation of�certain social groups in decision making spaces
  • Concentration of power and control in the hands�of a few groups
  • Gender, race, and ethnicity related violence and negative discrimination
  • Environmental degradation due to poverty and social exclusion.

ROLE PLAY

Develop a short role play around the specific challenges of a vulnerable group.

A "role play" can take multiple forms, as long as the participants clearly put themselves in the position of the vulnerable group. For example:

  • A song or dance
  • A short play (theatrical piece)
