Dans la deuxième moitié, nous présentons trois exemples d’études ayant permis d’évaluer l’efficacité de deux interventions différentes, dont l’une est un « atelier de diversité » (Étude 1) et l’autre une affiche mettant en avant les différences au sein d’un groupe Key-words Perceived variability, diversity training, randomized field experiments, prejudice reduction
