Location: Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Colégio Almada Negreiros – Campus de Campolide 18, 1099-032, Lisboa, Portugal
Room: Salão Nobre
Hybrid Zoom Virtual Webinar (RSVP Required)
At a time of great division in the EU, many see friction and no solutions. We draw on insights from many individuals about their experiences and constructive ways to live together with our differences through alliance.
What can we learn from our many battles for civil rights?
Through our Dialogues, we will seek to understand the sticking points that make these issues divisive and leverage insights of Millennials and members of Gen Z – because after all, Millennials and members of Gen Z have the most at stake. The Dialogues are an opportunity to learn from each other.
Tolerance Means Dialogue Essay Competition
All the students of the NOVA School of Law are invited to participate in the Dialogue.
And how can you do that?
NOVA students, submit a 500-word essay on tolerance by Friday, November 24th, 2023, by 5 PM (GMT) for a chance to win a $750 USD Tolerance Scholarship Award.
