Católica celebrates International Day of Peace with SACRU
"Fostering peace while tackling racism relies on an inclusive policy approach". This is what Ana Evans, professor at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP), states in the article written within the scope of the International Day of Peace, in collaboration with the Strategic Alliance of Catholic Research Universities (SACRU).
Under the theme "There is no harmony in racism", the alliance of Catholic research universities, of which UCP is a founding member, gathered the opinions of various specialists to mark this date.
For the expert from Católica, who teaches in the Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics, it is not possible to preserve peace without fighting racism, which "remains embedded in the form of unconscious and deliberate discrimination". A situation that SACRU highlights on this International Day of Peace, by condemning "the persistent inequalities that racism fuels, further aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine".
The Universidade Católica thus once again joins the initiatives promoted by this alliance, founded in 2017, with the aim of promoting knowledge and higher education of excellence for the common good, through cooperation between the various partners.
