Antiracism pop-up and community art project

Stop by the green coat racks and participate in an anti-racism quiz designed by students. Leave your mark on the community art project too, which consists of stickers affixed to acrylic panels. You can either design your own sticker or make use of pre-made templates.

At the pop-up, you can also learn about the university's diversity and inclusion measures and initiatives against harassment. Come to discuss, for example, the university's equality and diversity plan, language policy, UNIC's diversity-themed master's programme, as well as OYY's language policy and internationalization initiative.

Stickers and coffee will be available for all – warmly welcome!
