Diversity & Inclusion Seminar “Raising Your Awareness to Counter Unconscious Bias”

【Office of Diversity & Inclusion Promotion】

The aim of this program is to promote a change in awareness towards the creation of a sustainable, diverse society by becoming aware of the unconscious bias that exists in everyone. This is an opportunity to learn about how unconscious bias affects our daily lives and learning environments, and to gain tips for building better relationships. Why not join us in thinking about what is important for us to be able to get along well with each other at university, at work, and so on? We look forward to your participation.
