Roundtable - equity, diversity, inclusivity, architecture.

speaking of strategies, policies, programs ... in architectural education and practice

The roundtable brings together actors from architectural education, union representation, and professional networks. It inquires the current situation regarding equity, respect, inclusivity, and wellbeing in institutional contexts. Where do we stand? What have we achieved? And what needs to be done for creating more inclusive environments for learning and practice? Warm welcome everybody.
