We are joining #EUDIVERSITYMONTH!
European Diversity Month is a time when we especially want to highlight the value of diversity and the wealth of cultures that make up our community in Wrocław, in Poland and across the European Union. We want to encourage everyone to see differences as a strength that unites us in building a better, more open and more understanding society. That is why the Passage of Dialogue (Przejście Dialogu) and the Wrocław Centre for Social Development (WCRS) are joining the celebrations and inviting you to events that explore the theme of diversity!
