#universitydiversity

T here are 95 nationalities currently studying at the University of Lodz – over 2000 international stu-dents each academic year. Our University builds academic community around the values of respect for cultural, religious and community identities as well as social sensitivity. UL strives to educate

active global citizens who think critically, understand the complexity and the diversity of perspectives which underline the majority of global problems.

University Diversity is a project whose actions take place throughout the year and it aims to:

• raise the level of consciousness of being a part of large international community amongst teachers and students in order to level up the consciousness of one’s individual role as a resident of the whole world

• teach academic society and inhabitants of Lodz city a respect to diversity and the ability to communicate with diverse cultures

• maintain integrity of the whole academic society of the University of Lodz

Supporting culture

T he University of Lodz is also a hub of cultural life, open to art and activities outside academic concerns. It provides patronage for numerous contests, and takes part in festivals. UL participates in the cultural life of the city and region.

The University actively cooperates with local authorities as well as a variety of institutions and organizations.

It also takes part in countless charitable actions. We are the originators and organizers of the “No flowers, thank you” action, which is about encouraging students to buy special cards, rather than bouquets, as grat-itude gifts to their theses supervisors and reviewers. The cards are designed and made by children under the care of the Gajusz Foundation and the HAPPY KIDS Foundation, and the whole income from the cards goes for statutory aims of the charity foundations.

The University of Lodz is a responsible higher education institution, focusing its actions on intercultural and social integration.

Professor Antoni Różalski
