Blend Edu's Story: How it all began

Our history was born with a desire to transform realities, inside and outside organizations, and to create increasingly diverse environments so that people have access to the same opportunities.

We believe that change comes through collective responsibility, and we offer tools and knowledge so that each of our clients can gain the autonomy to lead the creation of an inclusive culture.

"Blend Edu is not made of perfect people, but plural people!

It's a space for constant learning, which makes even more evident the beauty of working with D&I: it's not about placing yourself as an authority on the subject, but raising awareness and spreading information so that everyone has the basis to create even more plural, diverse and inclusive environments.
