GEINNOVA joins D@DEI, a new Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership in the field of Vocational Education and Training, focused on helping SMEs and micro-enterprises integrate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) into their everyday organisational practices.
The project responds to a common challenge across Europe: although awareness of diversity, equality and non-discrimination is growing, many SMEs still lack the time, specialised staff, practical tools and clear methodologies needed to turn these principles into concrete actions in the workplace.
D@DEI aims to bridge this gap through practical, accessible and adaptable resources specifically designed for smaller organisations.
From principles to practical implementation
Throughout the project, the European partnership will develop:
- Practical DEI training tailored to SMEs and micro-enterprises;
- An implementation framework with clear, step-by-step guidance;
- A maturity assessment tool to identify gaps and priority areas for improvement;
- A multilingual digital platform with learning resources and practical tools.
By combining training, implementation guidance and digital tools, D@DEI aims to help organisations move beyond awareness and integrate DEI into their everyday workplace practices.
A multidisciplinary European partnership
D@DEI brings together seven organisations from five European countries, contributing different perspectives and areas of expertise:
- FH Münster University of Applied Sciences – Germany
- ETE FAROS LTD – Cyprus
- BOLINA LABS P.C. – Greece
- GEINNOVA – Spain
- LT Synergy Ltd – Cyprus
- Maltese Italian Chamber of Commerce – Malta
- Innovation Hive – Greece
This international collaboration combines expertise in research, vocational education and training, innovation, technology, business development and SME support, helping ensure that the solutions developed can be adapted and transferred across different sectors and European contexts.
As a project partner, GEINNOVA will contribute its expertise in vocational training, digital learning, innovation and SME support. Our team will actively contribute to the development and cross-sector adaptation of the project tools, supporting their application across different types of organisations and business sectors.
Towards more inclusive workplaces
D@DEI is implemented under the Erasmus+ programme, Cooperation Partnerships in Vocational Education and Training (KA220-VET).
