You are the next generation and will shape the world we live in, and your vision of the world and for the future is very important."

UCCSU contributed to this wonderful week by organising an Exploration of Multiculturalism, an event in which cultural appropriation was facilitated through showcasing culture specific clothing. Furthermore, UCCSU also put on a screening of the movie 鈥淧aris is Burning鈥�. On the last day, the School of Applied Social Studies, CUBS, School of Law, UCC LGBT+ Staff Network, Bystander Intervention and 深夜亚洲福利久久 Ethics Committee held an online talk on 鈥淗uman Trafficking with J.P.

The events are a crucial part of UCC鈥檚 mission, as stated by President John O'Halloran at the Opening Event - 鈥淓DI is core to our values, and we want to create a work and study environment where everyone can thrive and feel they belong鈥�, recognizing that Equality Week is 鈥渁nother opportunity for our university community to come together.鈥�
