Care's GED Training Manual

The goal of this diversity curriculum is to enhance CARE’s effectiveness as a relief and development organization.  This training curriculum helps ensure CARE’s goals of advancing gender equality and diversity is upheld both within the organization and reflected in their programing. 

This manual consists of four sections:

• Managing Inclusiveness: This first module focuses on building basic awareness of many diversity dimensions including diversity of perspectives, work styles and cultural worldviews.
• Dialogue across Differences: This second module delves more deeply into power dynamics by focusing on the three most pressing diversity challenges within CARE: gender, race and culture.  This module focuses on building dialogue skills as an effective tool in managing diversity.
• Managing Diversity for Managers: This third module examines the role of a manager in supervising a diverse team. This module builds management skill in handling diversity issues in the workplace.
• Advancing Gender Equity:  This fourth module focuses exclusively on gender, because gender is a cross-cutting organizational priority. It has been designed and tested in CARE India, but can be tailored to other contexts. It offers additional exercises to build basic understanding of gender; addresses gender stereotypes, gender discrimination and violence; and explores institutional and traditional barriers to advancing gender equity.
