UniDiversity is a ground-breaking initiative aimed at making the academic environment more inclusive towards Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Intersex (LGBTI+) individuals by targeting discriminatory incidents based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender characteristics (SOGISC) and by training the whole academic community (permanent staff, researchers, students, and other staff) in the use of inclusive language and behavior as well as in conflict resolution, in order to identify, combat, and ultimately prevent SOGISC based discrimination in Greece, Lithuania, and Italy.
creation of an inclusive academic environment for LGBTI+ people
OBJECTIVES
We are aiming to increase the evidence base about the current situation of discrimination based on SOGISC in the academic environment in the 3 countries and thus the ability to inform and influence policy.
Improve capacity to prevent, combat, and ultimately prevent discrimination based on SOGISC in the academic community, through increased knowledge and understanding of inclusive practices. Increase awareness about LGBTI+ equality and the human rights violations, discrimination, and mistreatment that LGBTI+ people face.
