Forming Diversity
Forming Diversity is a university-wide platform that aims to raise awareness, as well as make visible, strengthen and create networks and activities in the field of gender, queer matters, postcolonialism and diversity at ZHdK. The platform presents practical and theoretical explorations being pursued by staff and students in teaching and research. It shows how these issues are discussed, makes knowledge accessible, promotes the corresponding discourses and brings together experts.
Diversity Lunch Talk
The Diversity Office regularly hosts Diversity Lunch Talks. Events offer staff and students an opportunity to exchange ideas and views on diversity, gender and equal opportunity issues with experts and interested members of the wider public. Talks usually take place twice a semester over lunch.
Diversity Cinema
Diversity Cinema is a series of events that presents short films over lunch and offers audiences an opportunity to meet filmmakers. Diversity Cinema addresses different areas of diversity through key topics. Diversity Cinema is a cooperation between the Diversity Office and ZHdK Film School.
Participation in Search Committees
The Diversity Office participates in all search committees. It is represented by an equal opportunity delegate (either a member of the Diversity Office or members of the Equal Opportunity Committee who have received special training to perform their duties on search committees). The Office runs workshops on equal opportunities in recruitment processes.
Futures Day
The National Futures Day promotes gender equality in career choices (and life planning) at an early stage. The event offers girls and boys an opportunity to change sides and explore future careers beyond rigid gender concepts.
Whether as a game designer or art educator, theatre or film maker, musician or dancer, visual artist or cultural journalist: the future holds in store highly diverse working environments. ZHdK participates in this national event and hosts a special programme at Toni-Areal.
