To your surprise
your boss tells you that the Science Centre cannot afford the
necessary translators for the science communication programme involving young refugees from Syria and Afghanistan which you have been developing over the last
,
months
A

and therefore you have to cancel the event
I suggest reducing the costs for printing info material instead
.
anyway In general
B
-
?
How do you react
,
we need some EDI budgeting criteria
.
.
,
as no one reads it
I have a friend whose friend speaks Farsi Maybe he could help us out in translating
the event for free
?
Plus
,
I call the Refugee NGO
,
and make ask whether one of the
’
refugees in this group can do the Arabic translation for those who don t understand
C

I get really mad it always goes like this
where EDI is not just a trendy label

climate change and its global effects

advisory board is established with eminent scientists from different scientific disciplines and universities from all over Europe to ensure that the scientific quality is high and that a multitude of aspects are presented in the

exhibition
Your reaction is
- ’
,

It s a pity but hey that is how advisory
A
: ’
boards are put together it s all about politics

and eminence

B
,
,
I come up with a list of scientists experts and
,
stakeholders from all over the world
underpinning it with striking arguments as to why
.
they also have to be on the advisory board
-
C
,
I discuss with colleagues how we the
,
exhibition team can bring more diverse perspectives and examples from different regions from around the world into the exhibition
.
on our own
D
-
I am happy with the people and the
scientific disciplines represented by the board

That s what diversity is all about
