Each year at our university, the month of March is dedicated to ethnic-cultural diversity & inclusion and global engagement. We organise numerous activities to highlight these themes and to raise awareness among the UAntwerp community about ethno-cultural inequalities. Both within our university and society, and more widely in the world and the Global South. We reflect on issues such as racism, implicit bias, international cooperation, decolonisation and critical global citizenship.

Alongside these activities, we at the University are also committed to challenging policies that seek to bring about structural change. The activities are framed by strong policies, including the Strategic Framework for Global Engagement, the Statement of Commitment to Ethnic-Cultural Inclusion by VLIR and the Young Academy, and our University's new Diversity and Inclusion Policy Plan.

In March, we want to raise your awareness about the impact of racism and think critically together about how we, as a university institution, can respond to structural racism and ethnic-cultural inequality. We also want to involve the UAntwerp community in current and future policies and celebrate diversity within the UAntwerp together. 

On this website you will find interesting lectures, workshops, policy documents, campaigns, and other exciting activities that UAntwerp is organising during the month of March.

Join us in shaping our inclusive and anti-racist future!
