ABOUT ORGANIZATION:
Stichting
Diversiteitsland’ (Diversityland Foundation) is a grass-roots consultancy and
project organisation. We aim to enhance social inclusion of vulnerable
minority-groups. Over the next few years, we plan to organise international
activities under the name Social Capital of Minorities in Europe (SCME). Our
organisation is based in one of the "focus areas" of the Dutch
capital Amsterdam: ‘De Indische Buurt’. This is where most of our activities
take place. Our neighbourhood is characterized by a multitude of ethnicities
such as Turks, Moroccans and Surinamese and to a lesser extent, Afghans,
Somalis, Egyptians, Pakistanis and Ghanaians.
Employees
and volunteers of knowledge centres and social work organisations established
‘Stichting Diversiteitsland’ in 2008. They saw a civil society struggling with
themes like under-education, passive citizenship, poverty and social exclusion.
These issues led to the decision to bundle their experience and advise
policymakers on how to use the opportunities created through a culturally
diverse society for the general benefit. Especially now the topics of aging and
shortages on the labour market are becoming more and more the trend.

TRAINING COURSE PARTICIPANTS:
Yanny Chau
Age: 24
Country: Netherlands
Why have You decided to participate in this
project?
Starting an own business is something I always secretly dreamed of, but
I was always a little bit scared of the risks so I never thought of pursuing
this. Until this year. I lived in Curacao for 7 months (Feb-Aug 2015) where I
met a lot of (young) entrepreneurs and I started realizing all the
possibilities.
What are Your
expectations for the training course?
Although I have
experience in the fields of marketing, leadership and social media I would like
to learn more about business models/plans and I can’t wait to meet other
(young) entrepreneurs to share our passion!
What superpower would You like to have?
Healing/breathing
under water.
Life motto:
“Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait,
and wait without anxiety.”
Else Borges Dias
Age: 24
Country: Netherlands
Why have You decided to participate in this
project?
I work as a part time freelance
wedding/partyplanner and one day I want to be the head of my own business.
However, I did not major in marketing nor economics, so I lack the basic
knowledge which I think is needed to realize this goal.
What are Your expectations for the training course?
The focus of the training course in Cyprus
combined with the fact that I will get more familiar with different European
cultures makes me eager to participate. I hope that this training course will
give me more insight in entrepreneurship.
What superpower would You like to have?
Teleportation.
Life motto:
“If every day you wake up completely in comfort … no
butterflies in your stomach… chances are you aren’t doing much of anything”
Siomara Mac Donald
Age: 24
Country: Netherlands
Why have You decided to participate in this
project?
Since I did a bachelor in Public Administration I didn’t get much
insight in business models and business plans. Exploring and developing myself
I now know I want to learn more about businesses and (social) entrepreneurship.
What are Your
expectations for the training course?
This project
would give me great insight in which business skills are needed to become an
entrepreneur. The project focuses on both social skills as networking, teamwork
and social entrepreneurship as on more strategic business skills. The training
has a great balance between gaining knowledge and getting familiar with
different European cultures and people.
What superpower would You like to have?
Speak every language in the world
Life motto:
He who looks outside dreams, he who looks inside awakes.
