DARE is driving European SMEs towards growth and innovation through diversity and inclusion. We're offering resources to understand the benefits of diverse workforces, overcome biases, and tap into migrant talent. With innovation in education and a focus on workplace equality, DARE is reshaping a more vibrant and inclusive European economy.
The DARE project aims to boost diversity and inclusion in European SMEs, turning these aspects into opportunities for economic growth and innovation. The project plans to create resources for SMEs to better understand and leverage the benefits of diverse workforces. It seeks to innovate vocational education and training, addressing labour shortages by tapping into "invisible" talent pools, such as highly skilled immigrants. By promoting fair recruitment and retention practices, DARE aims to improve workplace equality, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and dynamic European economy.
This publication establishes the need for diversity and inclusion training through a thorough review of current studies (knowledge), offers guidance on the implementation of the framework and curriculum (pedagogical), and shares best practices (empirical).
This enables the swift integration of DARE's diversity and inclusion modules into vocational education and training by developing top-quality teaching and learning resources that can be used flexibly in a diverse range of situations.
This aims to increase the managerial and organizational competences of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those struggling with labour market shortages, by putting our training resources "into action". This is accomplished through an interactive assessment web app and supportive "digital hub".
