With Menchu Manuelian Fuste (PRISMA - UAB)
Organized by the Equality Committee
The main objective of the workshop is to create awareness to the public about the LGBTQIA+ realities in the environment of Science, Technology and Innovation. The format of the activity is an interactive workshop. Although some fundamental concepts will be defined as a frame to the discussion, it is not meant to be an exhaustive theoretical list. The workshop is designed to foster empathy and raise awareness of the need to combat discrimination from the individual level point of view. The workshop includes a guided discussion during the bulk of the session, with a final space for additional questions from the audience, and it is carried out following a pleasant and conciliatory approach.
For IMB-CNM people only.
