Wat does Sietar do?
Sietar stands for the Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research. Sietar members are actively involved in complex social issues as trainers, researchers or teachers, both in the Netherlands and abroad. This includes promoting diversity and inclusion and intercultural competence development in organisations, as well as preventing polarisation and combating racism, discrimination and exclusion in society.
Inspiration and connection with colleagues is crucial for us to be able to grow, both professionally and personally.
Hence our motto for 2020-2023: Inspiration, connection and growth, our strategy. The role of Sietar NL is to make this possible by promoting collaboration and linking activities with learning and development.
Sietar NL is closely connected to Sietar Europe. All Dutch members are automatically also members of Sietar Europe and thus get access to European webinars and the inspiring Sietar EU conference.
