This edition of the Diversity & Inclusion Course has been designed based on our D&I maturity model in order to better support organisations in their D&I journey.
The Diversity & Inclusion Course includes 7 modules. You may attend all or part of the modules, depending on your needs.
Each module is split in two parts; one in the morning, from 10.30 am to 12.00 pm, during which we will focus on the theory and one in the afternoon, from 13.30 to 15.00, during which you will put in practice what you have learnt and network with peers.
This course will be held in English.
The recordings of the morning sessions (theory) will be made available. However, the afternoon sessions (practice and networking) will not be recorded.
The price of this course is EUR 1620/CHF 1800/GBP 1380/USD 1920. You also have the possibility to register for individual modules for the price of EUR 270/CHF 300/GBP 230/USD 320 per module.
If more than one person from a particular organisation registers for the same module(s), a discount of 20% will be granted to each participant. If your organisation is eligible for this discount, please get in touch with us before completing the registration form.
If you are a registered PwC or Strategy& Alumnus/Alumna, an Advance member or if you work for a non-profit organisation, you may benefit from a 20% discount.
