Celebrating professionals of African descent
The 1st edition of the Gala Diversity 2020 – Celebrating Swiss professionals of African descent happened on September 18th in Geneva. It has gathered about 50 participants from all ethnic background interested in promoting diversity in society and in the economy.
Why this Gala ?
Corporate Human Resources campaigns in favour of diversity very often address gender inequality and LGBTQIA+ issues, leaving ethnic diversity out of the debate. Beyond the corporate space, the variety of the many African identities still seem fuzzy in collective representations, and therefore has an impact on the representation of people of African descent themselves within the Swiss and European societies, at work and in the public space.
This Gala is therefore aimed at actively contributing to a more granular perception of Europeans of African descent, and showing how rich for business and society diverse backgrounds are.
