Equality days
October 5th - 7th
Reykjavík University takes part in Equality days October 5th - 7th.
Equality days' purpose is to connect and highlight the various angles of; diversity, privilege, the history of suppression, gender equality, power, and discrimination. These topics are open for discussion in order to increase understanding, visibility and stimulate momentum for the many individuals who take an active part in working towards equality.
The schedule is varied, creating a festive atmosphere whilst constructively critiquing the status quo as it pertains to equality matters.
