European Developing Across Differences (DAD) Learning Lab & Community Week

This advanced professional development and interdisciplinary learning programme will run from 6-10 July 2026.

The event is designed for experienced practitioners and scholars who wish to continue to hone their expertise in one or more 4 key areas of study and practice in the Differences field—Intercultural communication, Global learning, Anti-discrimination/Diversity & inclusion, and Global competence. Past participants include corporate professionals, faculty and academic advisors, international education staff, government officers, NGO/non-profit managers and other multipliers who help audiences embrace and work with differences for sustainable solutions.

Visiting faculty include: Milton Bennett, Nadine Binder, Darla Deardorff, Maja Nenadinović, Mai Nguyen, and Annelie Wambeek, in addition to RUG’s own Michaela Carrière.  

This is the fifth annual edition of this event that is led by the Institute for Developing Across Differences in partnership with the University of Groningen/RUG.
