Diversity

Conference for International
Students
5th to 8th June 2009
Evangelische Akademie Bad Boll
Diversity Inclusion for Social Cohesion
International students and expert resource persons
representing diverse cultures will dialogue over
contentious issues spanning sexuality, race, religion,
citizenship and ability-disability. The thematic
emphasis of this intensive program is diversity
inclusion for social cohesion as experienced in Europe
today.
Participants are social work students and related
disciplines who have personal experience and
commitment to questions of inclusion and exclusion.
The content of this seminar includes cutting edge
contributions from experts and scholars from related
disciplines, as well as an interactive visit to the
Commissioner for Integration of the City of Ulm and
a guided tour to a Museum for Early Migration.
The Bad Boll Academy, with its long tradition of
fostering political dialogue over conflictive positions,
is an ideal setting where future practitioners in the
social service profession will engage experts in
discussions. We will examine how exclusionary
practices in our society are effectively addressed
by anti-discriminatory principles incorporated in
international law.
We welcome you to the Protestant Academy in Bad Boll!
