EUniWell Social Talks: Fighting discrimination in Europe
All people have the right to equal treatment and to not be discriminated against because of gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or age. Questions of discrimination are central to many educational programs and are relevant for many disciplines.
Swedish legislation on discrimination is closely linked to European legislation and follows EU directives and regulations. Hence, in the area of discrimination, we have much in common with other European countries and much to learn from them.
During fall 2024 and spring 2025 the EUniWell Arena for Social Equality and Wellbeing will launch a series of seminars, Social Talks, on the theme "Fighting discrimination in Europe". Experts from universities in the EUniWell strategic co-operation (European University for Wellbeing) will address the grounds of discrimination and discuss anti-discrimination actions in different sectors.
Our first speaker is Emilie Delcher, lecturer in public law from the University of Nantes, who will give an introductory lecture on how European discrimination legislation works and its importance for work in various sectors of society.
Lectures are open to everyone and are aimed at students, teachers and researchers who want to learn more about how different countries work against discrimination in different areas.
The general public is also welcome to attend the lecture series.
Location: Zoom
Duration: 60 minutes, including time for questions.
Registration: No registration required.
