Workshop Social and Cultural Capital

This workshop organized by UvA's Central Diversity Office (CDO) is part of their Mentoring Pathways program. 'You have more to offer than you think' helps you discover how your network, knowledge and background can help you during your studies and in the job market.

In this workshop, you’ll learn to spot hidden barriers and discover how to use your talents and experiences. Your background may bring challenges, but it can also be a source of strength. Shape your future!
The UvA’s Central Diversity Office is organising this workshop. It will be delivered by ECHO, the Centre for Diversity Policy. This independent organisation has worked to support diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities in education and the job market for over 30 years.
