University highlights diversity messages
The University of Ulster is to hold a series of exhibitions this week aimed at sending out anti-racism and anti-sectarianism messages.
The events, at Jordanstown, Coleraine and Magee, are aimed at promoting the importance of diversity and multi-culturalism during Community Relations Week.
Hundreds of events will be held throughout Northern Ireland during the week to highlight examples of community relations initiatives and activities.
University of Ulster Community Relations Manager, Anne Monaghan, said: “Being at university is a time to have some space to reflect on the important issues of the day and we encourage students to respect diversity both on and off campus.
“We are participating in Community Relations Week for the third year and this is evidence of the University’s commitment to respect for diversity and multi-culturalism”.
The theme of this week’s Community Relations Week is ‘Living Life Without Barriers’ which is drawn from the One Small Step advertising campaign. The programme of events will illustrate steps that many organisations are taking to help ensure Northern Ireland is free from the barriers of sectarianism and racism.
The events are being held as part of Community Relations Week organised by the Community Relations Council.
