Workshops
The Central Diversity Office reimburses three trainings per academic year per faculty (for all seven faculties, with a maximum of 20 participants): one training for students, one for staff, and one unspecified.
When a faculty has reached the limit, the workshops can still be requested, but the faculty or department will have to pay for the costs themselves. The Shared Services are not included in this collaboration and will have to pay for the training courses themselves. The costs of the training courses can be found on the OBOV website.
Would you like to know more about this collaboration and/or the workshops offered? Or do you want to organise a workshop for more than 20 people? Please contact OBOV via ourbodies.ourvoice@gmail.com.
