Open University: Equal Opportunities and Diversity at the University
When you became a student at Vilnius University, you joined a large and diverse community where everyone has different perspectives, experiences and identities. What can we do to achieve our goals together and feel unrestricted regardless of our differences?
The VU Community Development Department invites you to learn more about the values of the University and to explore what to do if you encounter or notice discrimination, how to help (or not) when you see someone with a disability? Where can you address if you see or experience harassment in the VU community?
We invite you to hear about this and much more at a remote meeting on 7 September 2022 at 15:00.
