Within ACT, social justice, equality, diversity, and inclusion receive a great deal of attention. Not only are these topics inextricable bound up with climate change, but they also pose challenges that we need to deal with on a daily basis – in how we do things. On September 8, 14.00- 15.30 pm (CET) professor Aminata Cairo
will deliver a webinar in which we will explore will how these ‘big topics’ translate into the task of creating safe spaces in the arts.
