Recognizing and naming discrimination in the workplace

Date: 22.06.2026 at 9: 30 - 16:00 Cost: €330

Discrimination in the workplace manifests itself not only in overt disadvantages, but also in routines, structures, and seemingly "normal" organizational processes. This workshop helps participants to better recognize, classify, and sensitively address such dynamics in their daily work.

The workshop focuses on a fundamental understanding of discrimination as a structural and power-related phenomenon. Participants learn to distinguish between different forms and levels of discrimination (individual, institutional, and structural) and to assess the importance of intersectional perspectives in the workplace. At the same time, the workshop provides space for reflecting on one's own notions of normality, privileges, and positions.

Using practical examples from organizations and teams, participants will collaboratively explore how discrimination can become visible in everyday work life, for example through language, images, routines, or institutional structures. The workshop aims to develop greater sensitivity to discriminatory dynamics and to gain more confidence in recognizing and addressing such situations in the workplace.
