The certificate accredits the following competences to the participants:

The continuing education courses make it clear to course participants why our increasingly heterogeneous society makes diversity-competent action necessary (Want). The courses provide basic knowledge about the social construction of gender stereotypes and promote a deeper understanding of communication and behavioral processes that contribute to the reduction of social prejudices (Know). In application-oriented exercises, the participants learn methods that are helpful for the integration of heterogeneous groups. In addition, they will be able to analyze and evaluate different approaches to the structural reduction of diversity in a reflective manner and develop momentum within existing structures (Can).
