Diversity Calendar

The LMU Diversity Calendar is designed to raise awareness of diversity and foster appreciation for different perspectives and backgrounds. Its goal is to coordinate activities, promote synergies, and increase the visibility of issues such as anti-discrimination, equality, inclusion, and participation.

Some of our diversity events overlap thematically, so it’s worth checking out the events across all categories!
