European Diversity Month is a time to highlight the value of diversity and the wealth of cultures that make up our community in Wrocław, in Poland and across the European Union. We want to encourage everyone to see differences as a strength that unites us in building a better, more open and more understanding society. That is why Przejście Dialogu (Passage of Dialogue) and the Wrocław Centre for Social Development are joining the celebrations and inviting you to events that explore diversity! Wrocław non-governmental organisations working for equality have also joined in
What’s happening in Wrocław during Diversity Month?
The events taking place in May were presented by Alina Szeptycka, the Mayor’s Plenipotentiary for Equal Treatment. Listen to the programme: https://www.radiorodzina.pl/audycje/miesiac-roznorodnosci-we-wroclawiu/
