The Launch of Cultural Diversity at Queen’s Survey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Queen\u2019s we are committed to celebrating cultural diversity, equality and inclusion among our communities. The iRise Network<\/a> and The Language Centre<\/a> invite you to join us to set up a planner of events, including invited talks and culture\/language-related festivals and days that we can celebrate in a range of ways (e.g. culture talks, posters, taster sessions\/workshops, performances) at Queen\u2019s and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We value the richness of languages and cultures brought in by staff and students to Queen\u2019s and would welcome all international and domestic colleagues and students, iRise members in particular, to share your knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm of your linguistic and cultural events so that we can build up a repertoire and make plans for joint celebrations on our multicultural campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
