Flyer document:
A programme of training and support for organisations that wish to explore shared organisational space.
Shared Organisational Space
By shared organisational space we mean the development of collaborative working relationships across organisational boundaries and cultural differences.
Shared Organisational Space is one of the key aims of Belfast City Council's Peace and Reconciliation Action Plan, through which this programme is being delivered.
The Belfast Divercity Project
The project's aims are to:
- Support leaders and organisations to work across differences to explore shared organisational space
- Raise awareness of the nature and potential of diverse communities
- Give participants practical skills to manage differences
- Give participants an experience of engagement with an unfamiliar culture, through a set diversity challenge
- Give participants nationally recognised qualifications that can be used for professional development
The project is being organised by a consortium of four organisations: Belfast Interface Project (BIP), Interaction Institute for Social Change (IISC), Mediation Northern Ireland (MNI) and is being led by WEA. All four organisations have a long history of involvement in good relations and organisational development work.
