Planned actions and events
Diverse and Equal
In the second stage of the “Kultura Szacunku / Culture of Respect” campaign entitled “Diverse and Equal” we are planning a range of actions and events, which are intended not only to provide some knowledge about the concept and value of equality as well as to provoke thoughts and debate regarding the problems and deficits in that area, but also to attract attention and encourage engagement of a possibly largest audience, members of our academic community:
- articles in the university monthly magazine >>Gazeta GUMed<< pertaining to various aspects, criteria and contexts of equality
- interviews with experts
- webinars and lectures
- internet surveys
- university debates
- Diversity Day
- conference about good practices in the area of equality reinforcement and diversity management
- Urząd Marszałkowski Województwa Pomorskiego (Office of the Marshal of the Pomorskie Voivodeship) and
- Urząd Miasta Gdańska (Municipal Office in Gdańsk).
It is possible that in some of the actions we will also join forces with the University of Gdańsk and Technical University of Gdańsk
More detail information about the actions and events will be published both on this website and in the social media.
