Explore the Diversity Icebreaker Premium !
In this webapéro Bjørn Z. Ekelund will share a story of how Human Factors AS have been delivering concepts for organizational training, moving into a paradigm shift for co-creation of meaning and solutions and now also delivering an individual Diversity Icebreaker Premium application for self-managed individual learning. Participants will be given an opportunity during this session to try and explore the Diversity Icebreaker Premium for individuals (https://diversityicebreaker.com/material/premium-2). In the last part we will debate how this concept through reflexivity can empower individual self-understanding and social learning.
