Com a intenção de dar a conhecer o efeito do COVID-19 a nível global e em contextos locais, a UNESCO promove, em maio, um conjunto de Webinars. O foco incide sobre o imperativo social de “não deixar ninguém para trás” , alertando para a necessidade de se empreenderem ações que evitem o recrudescimento do racismo e da descriminação.

Apresentamos, seguidamente, a informação original com as datas dos Webinars

“Inclusion in the time of COVID-19”

This UNESCO webinar series aims to exchange experiences and expertise on the measures to address the COVID-19 crisis at the global and local levels. The focus is on the social dimensions of “leaving no one behind” and on actions taken to fight against the growing incidents of racism and discrimination.

These webinars target national/local policymakers and stakeholders, international and regional organizations, academics, students and NGOs. Speakers will include global experts and city authorities from UNESCO’s International Coalition of Inclusive and Sustainable Cities – ICCAR.

In May 2020, the webinars will focus on thematic areas that shed light on the visceral forms of discrimination that exist in our societies. This new series seeks to unlock a deeper understanding of a number of critical issues underlying the pandemic in order to act in the present and anticipate the future.
