AMA #3 Diversity & Inclusion

Thursday 24th November from 12:30 to 13:30 CET 

Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) have become a buzz concept in different fields, but how many understand their meaning, importance and implications? It’s been repetitively proven that D&I are key elements for a sustainable, healthy and productive environment. 

In this third Ask Me Anything, we’d like to demystify and break down the concepts of Diversity & Inclusion to understand the different nuances and complexities of this topic as well as providing a safe space for everyone to express thoughts, experiences, curiosities and doubts. 

Everyone in FoodHIVE is allowed and encouraged to ask ANY question! Feel free to share your views too! 

Tune in and join the discussion with us on the 24th of November from 12:30 to 13:30 CET!

If you want to receive a reminder right before the AMA kicks off, you can RSVP to the event, but this is not obligatory to participate.  

The AMA will be live and in written format, meaning that the guests will respond to your question by text, not by video.
