The 2023 European Lab will address the topic of BACKLASH: Working in a time of Anti-globalisation, Anti-Wokism, Anti-Immigration, Anti-Internationalisation, and other “Anti” sentiments.
Designed to generate new insights about timely topics by using a curated, expert-level peer-sharing methodology, the 2023 Evening Laboratory on 11 July is a cornerstone element of the IDD’s European edition of the Developing Across Differences (DAD) Learning Lab & Community Week (learn more about the full week here).

HOW IT WORKS
In this annual event, a select group of esteemed professionals —practitioners, researchers and DAD participants from across The Netherlands, Europe and beyond— comes together to address a substantive issue that impacts how we work and live together.
Following an interactive appreciative inquiry methodology, the evening is one in which we will examine a real-life challenge from multiple perspectives. We use an interdisciplinary, cross-sector approach to involve peers from business, education, government and civil society organisations.
Our aim is to generate new ways of understanding as well as to identify potential solutions — while also strengthening cross-sector and interdisciplinary connections, networks, and alliances.

TOPIC
This year’s topic —BACKLASH— is not only making headlines worldwide but also increasingly causing friction for many of us in our daily workplaces and communities.
The Lab is an expertly facilitated opportunity to explore how we encounter, respond, anticipate and mitigate the latest wave of pushback and resistance to embracing differences in all of its iterations…and with all of its implications.
PARTICIPANTS
Participating IDD faculty experts are Milton Bennett, Michaela Carrière, Darla Deardorff, Sherifa Fayez, Annette Gisevius, Jana Hollá, Nene Molefi, Maja Nenedovíc, Mai Nguyen, and Nagesh Rao.
Marcel van der Poel of Hanze University and the IDD’s Nadine Binder will facilitate the evening.
Invited guests include Diversity & Inclusion officers, interculturalists, global learning specialists, trainers, faculty and educators, and others whose work helps individuals, organisations and communities better develop across differences.
We look forward to sharing outcomes from these timely discussions.
