Why this portal ?

This portal is dedicated to diversity in the spirit of the American/British researcher Steven Vertovec of "superdiversity" (Ethnic and Racial Studies, Taylor & Francis, Routledge, 2007).

Diversity is the front, the 'bright' side of discrimination which is its back, its dark side.  The "superdiversity" portal addresses all professionals to explain all facets of diversity. It can be linked to the profile of learners (gender, age, culture, religion, sexual orientation,...), or learning itself (formal, non-formal, informal...) or news about the protection of diversity/fight against discrimination on the labor market or in society.

1- publications- since the Global forum organized in Paris in February 2025 together with India, on artificial intelligence, we have dedicated our newsletter published twice a year to this major issue for Europe and Europeans. We publish every month since the start of the 2025 school year an article/post on LInkedIn about current events regarding diversity in the world of work or society.

2- a selection of concepts address the different facets of diversity (gender, ethnic origin, religion, identity or sexual orientation...) and situations of discrimination

3- themes suggest ways to address the different facets of diversity - learner profiles, types of learning, situations encountered 

4- The training courses propose different ways of reducing diversity, a priority and cross-cutting theme in European policies, for real equality of opportunity -"United in diversity

5- the resources illustrate the themes - educational resources (tools and strategies developed as part of European projects), videos or weblogs that have been developed as part of European projects

Methodology

The proposed methodology suggests

1- a Newsletter published twice a year; plus monthly posts on LinkedIn about the current situation of diversity in Europe and worldwide

2- a selection of definitions - selected notions that specify the theoretical contents and concepts related to diversity (altruism, otherness, secularism, universalism, citizenship...)

3- some themes meant to shed light on the different facets of diversity

4- a proposal of trainings for strategies to promote diversity. They can address one or more themes and take place over a day or several days. They are addressed to the heads of associations, local authorities (local elected officials or territorial civil servants); public services (central administration or decentralized services), or companies (human resources managers) who wish to raise awareness among their members, employees, volunteers, beneficiaries... to diversity. Diversity charters have been adopted in many European countries since 2004, the first charter launched in France.

5- the resources are varied-  tools (portfolios, frameworks...) , strategies (learning activiies, guides, memos...) developed in the framework of national and European projects ; videos made as part of experimentation in France for European projects; weblogs that make it possible to make understand the European projects to a French public
