About Micrag

The MICRAG Mobile App is a result of the MICRAG – How 'micro' can aggression be? Erasmus+ Cooperation partnerships in vocational education and training (KA220-VET) project, developed thanks to the co-funding of the European Commission – Erasmus+ Programme (National Agency Education & Training of Netherlands). This app is designed to make all the contents of the project more accessible to learners through smartphones and mobile devices. This way learners can learn wherever and whenever they desire.
The general objective of the project is to expand the current conceptualisation of aggression and violence which excludes “low-severity” forms of harassment. Also aims to equip citizens working in the public sector with skills to promote inclusion, diversity, and fairness in their communication with clients, as well as to reduce barriers associated with discrimination, such as gender, age, ethnicity, religion, beliefs, sexual orientation or disability. To achieve these objectives:
• A Catalogue was developed that outlines the most common examples of micro-aggressions and unconscious biases. Different types of micro-aggression (micro-assaults, insults, and invalidations) are discussed, as well as different types of micro-aggression (communicational, behavioral, and environmental). The catalogue also identifies the underlying bias or prejudice that makes every example micro-aggressive and harmful.
• A guide and training resources were developed which emphasize the importance of civility and workplace sensitivity in fostering a respectful work environment, as well as improving cultural competency by emphasizing diversity, inclusion, sensitivity, unconscious bias, and microaggression. In the Guide and Training Resources, you can find the best communication and argumentation strategies and tools for defeating micro-aggressions and prejudices.

These products are available in English and the languages of the partnership: Dutch, German, Italian, Slovene, Slovak, and Greek.

to develop a Catalogue of the most common examples of micro-aggression and unconscious bias;
to compile a user-oriented Guide and Training Resources which emphasise the role of civility and workplace sensitivity in promoting a respectful culture, and which improve cultural competency focusing on diversity, inclusion and sensitivity, unconscious bias, and micro-aggression in the workplace;
to enable networking and exchange of experience through implementation of an e-platform for the access to all contents and training materials;
to give immediate access to practice such communication strategies through development of mobile applications for smart phones;
to achieve sustainability by providing access to of the project’s outputs for at least five years after the end of the project, i.e. until 2028.
