APPDI (Portuguese association for diversity and inclusion) is a non-profit institution whose mission is to promote diversity and inclusion (D&I) in organizations and in civil society. They are in charge of the Portuguese diversity charter (an initiative of the European Commission to help employers developing diversity practices) and they are involved in several other projects and programs. For instance, and interesting program involving both schools and companies - the ?Engineers for a Day? ? is a Government initiative that aims to raise awareness of STEM career options for female students up to 18 years old. Another project targets both enterprises as social institutions - e Divers@s e Ativ@s Project: Promoting Diversity and Non-Discrimination in the Workplace. APPDI shared with us more from their mission and activities, showing us a landscape of practical possibilities to work in the field of diversity and inclusion in different contexts.
