A brief description of the institution’s cultural competence, anti-oppression, anti-racism, and/or social inclusion trainings and activities:
DEGREE STUDENTS.
Most of the Degree students have participated in cultural competence and Mutual Understanding training, learning how to develop an inclusive attitude to minorities.
All the MBA Students attend a session on Diversity and Inclusion during their Orientation Week and have mlticultural training in their curriculum.

ACADEMIC STAFF.
All our professors have a comprehensive onboarding training on several topics including "Service and Purpose", where matters as Social Consciousness cover all these issues.
Most of the Faculty community participate in annual training and mentoring opportunities
Most of the Faculty have personal meetings with the DDB Office Director to exchange and learn reciprocally on diversity and inclusion matters.

NON ACADEMIC STAFF.
We are deploying a set of workshop sessions called Mutual Understanding that highlight the risk of discrimination and oppresion and promote Mutual Understanding among all the community members. It focusses mainly on the prevalent negative biases in deliberation and decision-making, the psychological mechanisms that facilitate or hinder participation, and the influence of the structure on the climate of cooperation. By the end of the Academic Year, we expect that 75-80% of the Staff will have done this workshop.
