For some time now, the University of Antwerp has been trying to put ethnic-cultural inclusion and global engagement on the map. For example by awareness-raising actions such as supporting the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 or the inauguration of the Patrice Lumumba Aula in 2023. Also on a policy level important steps were made, such as signing the VLIR Young Academy Statement of Commitment on ethnic-cultural inclusion or the Strategic Framework for Global Engagement.
In March each year, we will take these issues to the wider UAntwerp community, our students and staff.
March 2024 was dedicated to ethnic-cultural inclusion and global engagement, with various activities such as a conference on international curriculum, a town hall on ethic-cultural inclusion, and various courses, debates and screenings taking place.
We look forward to welcome you in March 2025 for a new edition!
