From March 13 to 24, 2023, thePlus d’égalité Festival returns to USMB campuses. It’s a time for reflection and discussion on issues of equality—a chance to share ideas, learn, and stand together against all forms of discrimination.
This year, a variety of topics will be explored through lectures, workshops, personal testimonials, discussions, games, and exhibitions. The program will cover sexism, women’s entrepreneurship, autism spectrum disorder, breaking down stereotypes, sign language, street harassment, music, intercultural exchange, and perspectives on disability.
An event organized by the Student and Campus Life Office (SVEC), in collaboration with the Student Health Service, the Disability Services Office, the University Libraries, the Office of Scientific Culture, and the USMB UNITA office, in partnership with the City of Chambéry and with the support of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region.
