We are delighted to announce that our Diversity Team has won the EuroCloud Award 2024 in the category “Human Empowerment” for the workshop format Brace Yourself. This award recognizes our commitment to creating a more inclusive and mindful work environment.
Every year, the EuroCloud Award recognizes outstanding projects in the categories “Human Empowerment”, “Sustainability”, “Best Cooperation Project” and “EuroCloud Member of the Year”. This award is presented by EuroCloud Deutschland_eco e.V. and recognizes special initiatives by cloud service providers. The application process consists of several steps: First, the jury members select the top 3 projects from the applications submitted. Then, these are presented to the public at the EuroCloud Summit. The summit took place on September 26 in Offenbach and the winners were selected by the audience in a live vote.
“As the tecRacer Diversity Team, we are delighted to accept the EuroCloud Human Empowerment Award for our Brace Yourself workshop format. With this format, we not only want to raise awareness of situations in which discrimination takes place, but also provide participants with concrete tools to respond constructively and effectively.”
The Brace Yourself format, which has been running since 2020, includes practical communication strategies – from “asking questions” and “involving others” to “Send I-Messages” – to give participants the tools they need to act confidently and safely in discriminatory situations. A key aspect of Brace Yourself is its interactive approach: each session covers a specific strategy and offers participants the opportunity to practice it in real-life scenarios. This raises awareness and increases confidence.
We would like to thank the EuroCloud jury and the audience for this award. Above all, however, we would like to thank our Diversity Team, who developed and ran this workshop series with great commitment and creativity.
