The World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development
It is the Faculty of Modern Languages and Literatures that has probably the largest potential of cultural and ethnic diversity among academic staff of our University. This potential is used every day during classes and lectures, however, it should also be made available to and appreciated by a wider public. Therefore, it is the third time, when the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development has been celebrated in order to both promote our University and contribute to shaping the attitude of tolerance and openness to cultural diversity among academic community in Poznań.
