University of Galway is running the inaugural Nelson Mandela Anti-Racism Week 20th – 24th March 2023.
This week of events is programmed to coincide with International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, annually observed on March 21st. It is also designed to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the awarding of an honorary doctorate to Nelson Mandela by the University of Galway in 2003.
There are over 20 events that are designed to be deliberative and interactive, facilitating discussion, learning and engagement on a wide range of issues relevant to race, ethnicity and anti-racism.
The diverse programme of events during Nelson Mandela Anti-Racism week is based on a collaborative approach throughout the university, supported by the Office of the Vice-President for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
