How can we bring more diversity to the game industry workforce? Join us this April 6th and start a discussion on this issue! Laura van Nieuwenhuijze (Chair of COC Midden Nederland) shares best practices and lessons learned of advocating diversity & inclusion at work.

Laura is president of COC Midden-Nederland. Since 1946, COC has been fighthing for equal rights, emancipation and social acceptance of lesbian women, gay men, bisexuals, transgenders and intersex people (LGBTI). COC Midden-Nederland focuses on security, (political) advocacy and activities for vulnerable target groups, including young people, the over-50s, refugees, women and LGBT people with a physical or mental disability.

With so much history, and so many successes (e.g. lately they managed to have 20 townships sign the De Regenboogstembusakkoord), Laura can give some great insights in how they accomplish certain goals. Menno & Laura will talk about best and worst practices in their fight for diversity and inclusion at work. Will you join us?
