The month of May marks European Diversity Month across the EU. EU Diversity Month raises awareness about the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace and across our societies. It is about the representation and visibility of different groups, where diverse perspectives are valued and integrated into the work environment. It celebrates efforts by organisations to help build equal and inclusive environments for the benefit of all. This initiative is part of the European Commission’s commitment to fight discrimination and promote diverse and inclusive workplaces.
Every year the European Commission is calling on companies and organisations across Europe to join forces to shine a spotlight on the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace and in society by organising events and activities throughout May. This year’s theme is building bridges. Building bridges between organisations and areas of inclusion and diversity policy (race, gender, age, etc.).
