Practical Module
The practical module is designed to provide an in-depth exploration of issues related to diversity, equality, anti-discrimination, inclusion, and social inequality in specific areas of practice. You will complete a 100-hour internship at a partner institution. Accompanying reflection sessions support your personal and professional engagement with your experiences.
A field placement can be completed, for example, at NGOs, educational or cultural institutions, social service organizations, local government agencies, associations, initiatives, or other projects related to gender or diversity. Volunteer work may also be credited toward the requirement. Since the certificate is a voluntary, supplementary program, the practical placement cannot be classified as a mandatory internship.
