European trade unions and employers organised a European roundtable on inclusion in the audiovisual sector on 30 April 2024 in Berlin. The roundtable was part of a 2-year EU-funded project aimed at improving the capacity of the industry to implement diversity policies.<\/p>\r\n

The event in Berlin was the last roundtable in a series of four organised in 2023-2024. The first three roundtables examined concepts and definitions, as well as diversity monitoring tools. They also discussed intersectionality, DEI strategies, the educational pathways into the sector, and diversity on screen. Resources and reports form the previous roundtables are available online<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Good practices<\/h4>\r\n

During a first panel, European professionals shared good practices and their commitment to change the industry. Insights from the Observatorio de la Diversidad en los Medios Audiovisuales<\/em> in Spain, the Collectif 50\/50<\/em> in France, the public broadcaster WDR in Germany and Screen Producers Ireland allowed to address and discuss different key dimensions of diversity policies: the inclusion of professionals with disabilities, trans representation, diverse newsrooms and the need to counter stereotypes in portrayals, the impact of databases of professionals with diverse backgrounds and of mentoring programmes.<\/p>\r\n

The second panel zoomed in on the situation in Germany. Thanks to the participation of key sector organisations such as Die Neuen deutschen Medienmacher*innen<\/em>, ARD Degeto Film GmbH<\/em>, Themis Vertrauensstelle e.V<\/em>, concrete tools and transformation processes were discussed, without shying away from addressing the challenges often faced when adopting new protocols and new ways of working. Bj\u00f6rn Bohning, CEO of Produktionsallianz<\/em> highlighted the \u201cpermanent process\u201d that is promoting diversity, declaring that \u201cpromoting diversity and inclusion requires other measures than just fighting discrimination\u201d. Matthias von Fintel, Head of Media, Journalism and Film at ver.di added: \u201cAll of us want to contribute to more open productions and work environments. […] We need a real change that comes along with a change of point of view.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

What\u2019s next?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n

The European social partners will soon enter a phase of negotiations of a European Framework of Actions on Diversity and Inclusion in the audiovisual sector; with the aim of setting shared goals and common objectives as well as putting forward recommendations to improve the capacity of the industry to implement and promote diversity policies.<\/p>\r\n

They will hold a conference in Brussels on 19 November 2024 to conclude the project and present the state-of-play of the negotiations.<\/p>\r\n
