At BGE, we strive to create an inclusive environment that considers diversity and to accept that people are different in many ways. Understanding, evaluating, and effectively addressing differences contributes to our individual and organizational success.
There are situations when we need support. There are situations when we do not fit in, when we are in the minority, when we are ‘others’, perhaps considered to be ‘strange’, or just strangers. Alternatively, there are situations where we can provide support to others, when we are in the majority, when we are familiar with everything, when we are safe and we are able.
Accepting diversity results in different experiences and perspectives that help us build a better future. Equal opportunities mean that all members of society have an equal opportunity to participate fully and effectively in society, and on an equal basis with others. We treat people fairly, without negative prejudice, and create conditions in society, the university, the workplace, and in all areas of life that encourage and value diversity, and do not violate human dignity.
At BGE, we strive to create opportunities for everyone, including under-represented or disadvantaged groups, to participate fully and effectively on an equal basis with others.
Our goal is to create an organizational culture in which everyone respects the other and where everyone can be themselves.
The issue of equality and diversity is addressed at our University by the Centre for Inclusion and Diversity to ensure that “Everyone has the opportunity”. If you need support, feel free to contact us!
