Photo exhibition - "European Diversity in Denmark"
Friday 21 June 2019, 15:00-17:00, Rotunden, CBS Solbjerg Plads 3 2000 Frederiksberg
You’re invited to attend the "European Diversity in Denmark" photo exhibition, co-organised by CBS Council for Diversity and Inclusion and the Romanian Embassy.
Embracing diversity is one of the basic pillars of democratic societies, and a core value of the European system. CBS Professor Susana Borras is the photographer and her photos aim to open our eyes to the positive side of Europeans living in Denmark. The exhibition contains 27 portraits, each one corresponding to a person born in another EU country.
Their fascinating life stories tell us about courage and adaptation; and above all, about their willingness to be an active part of Denmark. To make a positive contribution.
