Both iriv and Faisceau convergent based their approach on the legal framework, European then national, of the fight against discrimination. In France it includes many indicators, in addition to those mandatory provided for by the European Directives of 2000. The European framework developed since the creation of the European Union (Treaty of Rome of 1957) but especially the legal arsenal put in place since 2000, is unique in the world to identify, document and sanction the multiple discriminations that exist in social life, personal or professional.

The iriv has been working on this theme since 2013.  

Three projects directly addressed diversity - Di& Di (2013-2015) initiated by iriv with Enda Europe in 5 countries (France, Italy, Germany, Bulgaria and Switzerland); MigrAid (2016-2019) initiated by the Cyprus Labour Institute (INEK-PEO) in 5 countries (Cyprus, Greece, Denmark, France and Italy) and Think Diverse (2021-2023) initiated by Eurosviluppo in three countries (Italy, France, and Spain). This theme was transversal to all its European projects since 1997 (transversal priority); in particular in the GRIT project (2018-2021) with a cognitive approach or the CLASS project (2019-2021) with training for middle school students on disinformation.

The Solidarity Ukraine weblog developed in 2024 is part of this approach - diversity, an indicator of democracy in Ukraine’s fight against Russia. It proposes a cognitive approach (moving from emotions to reason). Each year offers a different angle- 2022 (emotions & psyschological profiles of the belligerents), 2023 (earthenware dogs strategy or psychological warfare), 2024 (international comparison with other conflicts), 2025 (consider paths to peace). The JO Paris 2024 weblog enriched this approach to diversity, sport (in all its aspects) is a convincing vector for conveying messages (soft power and smart power weapon).

Faisceau convergent was created in 2019 to encourage the cinematic expression of diversity.
