Diversity and Inclusion UL day: together we create an inclusive academic environment
Date of publication:
University of Ljubljana (UL) is a member of EUTOPIA, an alliance of ten European universities. Together we are dedicating November to diversity and inclusion. The University of Ljubljana is (also) joining the efforts towards an open and inclusive university environment with a Safe and Diverse UL Day and a number of events for students, which will take place on 7 November between 9 am and 5 pm at the Rector's Office and online.
The university environment must be open and inclusive and contribute to the advancement of society through scholarship and research. As a study and working environment, it co-creates and influences the well-being of students and staff, especially their opportunities to work creatively and innovatively. All those involved in the academic educational process need to feel safe and accepted, as this is the only way to develop their talents and fulfil their aspirations.
The events are divided into four strands - Safe UL, Accessible UL, Inclusive UL and Reconciling Study, Work and Private Life. Students, alumnae and alumni, staff and guests will share their personal, academic and career experiences in the areas of inclusion, violence prevention, diversity and open the floor for discussion.
Schedule
9.00–10.30 Safe UL: panel discussion on preventing and addressing violence, harassment and sexual assault
11.00–12.30 Accessible UL: workshop on self-advocacy, a skill for effective study
13.00–14.30 Inclusive UL: round table on the situation of LGBTIQ+ people at UL
15.00–16.30 Reconciling study, work and private life: a roundtable discussion
Participation in the roundtables is possible in person or online. The self-advocacy workshop will be live only.
