Can education help change attitudes and organizations? During the conversation, teachers and those responsible for the Police Program in Malmö discuss how to work with power analysis and hate crimes with the goal of educating police officers who can act more consciously and professionally and contribute to influencing both the police organization and the public’s perception of the police. But the conversation is also about democracy and everyone’s access to the police, both as employees and citizens, as victims of crime. Many LGBTQIA + hesitate to report hate crimes and few are openly homosexual within the police – how can the education help to open the door for more people, both the door to the police to report a crime and gain support and the police profession.

Diversity, equality, and inclusion in the workplace is correlated to more creative, innovative, and productive outcomes. But how do we build an inclusive workplace culture and what are some of the challenges and key success factors in achieving this? Listen in to this panel discussion with representatives from IKEA, BoKlok, Malmö symphony orchestra and Skanska. Moderated by Atilla Yoldas, an acknowledged journalist, activist, and author.

One of the seven grounds of discrimination covered by law in Sweden is transgender identity and expression. However, in order to argue that discrimination has taken place from a legal point of view, you have to assume a binary model of gender. There’s a big difference between not openly excluding non binary people and actively creating an including work environment where everyone feels welcome and accepted. How can employers make sure that they not only openly exclude but really create a intrinsically inclusive environment where employees feel they are accepted and not forced to practise self censorship?
