Workshop 1
ApplyInclusive communication in the workplace
We must build a shared foundation for effective and empathic communication to ensure that everyone feels safe and seen. Because language reflects reality, there is no more obvious way to learn about an equitable workplace than by closely examining our communication. It has the power to unite and divide us as humans. In this workshop, we will learn how to cultivate a curious mind and a learning attitude rather than how to be perfect.

Workshop 2
ApplyAttracting Gen-Z talent through inclusive leadership
Gen-Z is entering the workplace and they are the most inclusive generation in history so far. In order to attract young and ambitious talent, it is key to provide an inclusive work environment. The road to achieving this starts with leadership. As leaders, we must learn to strike a better balance between competence and trustworthiness. Instead of becoming a numerical target that is only prioritized by DEI project teams, DEI will be a natural byproduct of inclusive and balanced leadership.

What steps to take in order to become a balanced leader.
Workshop 3
ApplyPreventing cultural appropriation in marketing & communication
Marketeers frequently lean on stereotypes to create understandable messages for their target audiences. They also draw on a variety of sources for artistic inspiration, ranging from historic and religious symbols to current events. We've all seen examples of this being perceived as exploitative en masse — especially when the inspiration’s origin, meaning and true value is not acknowledged — and how swift the resulting backlash is online. As a society, we're more conscious of inequity and how that can manifest in cultures inappropriately borrowing from other cultures. It’s therefore critical nowadays for marketeers and communication specialists to gain a deeper understanding of what cultural appropriation is and how to avoid it.
Audience: Marketeers and communication professionals

'The cultural appropriation workshop at Hammerfest was extremely beneficial. It is a multi-layered theme in which more knowledge not only ensures that you see things (earlier), but also that you can express them better. We learned a lot as a team during the workshop, which we could apply in our work. Highly recommended for every organization and every individual.'
— Baba Touré - Founder / Managing Director - Hammerfest
‘Having Nadine at the office sharing her knowledge did not only led to a better understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion, but it also brought us closer together as a team. Everybody dared to open up in the safe space which Nadine was able to create with her presensence and personality. Thank you, Nadine! We are looking forward to continuing our work together.’
