Closing of the Month of the Black Ethnicity at UMECIT 2024

In an effort to celebrate and recognize the rich cultural diversity of our community, UMECIT concluded Black Ethnicity Month with a series of nationwide activities. These activities, organized under the Inclusive Education Program attached to University Wellbeing, underline our commitment to diversity and equality.

Throughout the month, the university community had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture, history and contributions of the black community. These activities included cultural events, workshops, conferences and artistic presentations that involved UMECIT students, teachers and collaborators. This active participation reflects our inclusive approach and our desire to generate a positive impact on all stakeholders.

The initiatives undertaken not only celebrated black culture, but also helped foster awareness and understanding of ethnic diversity. They promoted equal opportunities and improved coexistence in the university environment. These events provided spaces for dialogue, reflection and learning about the history, challenges and achievements of the black community.

We are sure that these activities have been a source of joy, empathy, courage and respect for all participants. They have reinforced our commitment to inclusive education and the promotion of diversity in our university community. Through these experiences, we have worked to create an environment where everyone feels valued and respected, regardless of their ethnicity.

The closing of Black Ethnicity Month at UMECIT is not only an annual event, but an ongoing manifestation of our values and principles. We will continue to promote activities that highlight the importance of diversity and inclusion, recognizing that each member of our community brings unique and significant value.

As we look to the future, we commit to continuing to work toward inclusive and equitable education, where everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow in an environment that celebrates diversity and equality. We thank everyone who participated and contributed to the success of these activities, and we hope to continue building a more inclusive and united UMECIT together.

We want to express our gratitude to all the students, teachers and collaborators who made the celebration of Black Ethnicity Month possible.
