Human Forever film
DEI Committee and Slieker Film are inviting you to a documentary film showcase. Human Forever is a film directed by University of Groningen alum Jonathan de Jong. The film follows 24-year-old humanitarian activist Tuen Tobbes who follows a three-year journey across 4 continents and 11 countries to investigate how to improve the quality of life of people living with Dementia. Together they explore how dementia is dealt with in other countries and what we can learn from each other to make the future more inclusive.
The director, Jonathan de Jong, will join us at the Slieker cinema to introduce the film as well as answer questions. This is a beautiful film that has touched many audiences and inspires us to care for one another.
Due to the limited space the sign up for this event is mandatory (by 29 September 2024). This event is open to: University of Groningen students and staff. |

Board Game (LGBTQ+ Refugee Awareness)
DEI Committee is inviting you to a lunch time event in which Mirjam Kingma (alumni of GRL Campus Fryslan and PhD researcher at RUG) will demonstrate the boardgame that she has designed to raise awareness about the experiences of LGBTQ+ refugees in the Netherlands. The boardgame takes the players on a journey that a LGBTQ+ refugee takes when arriving in the Netherlands, in which they face obstacles, big decisions and challenges. At the end of the game, not all players get to reach the end goal, which displays the reality of many LGBTQ+ refugees who will be sent back to their country of origin. The game is based on qualitative interviews with LGBTQ+ refugees who were in the asylum seeking process at the time. Registration required: No This event is open to: All UG staff and students and external visitors. |

Studium Generale Leeuwarden - lezing over 'De gelijkheidsparadox: Over de geschiedenis van het vrouwenlichaam'
Bijna iedere week verschijnen er berichten in de media over zogenaamde gender health gap, het verschil tussen mannen en vrouwen in medische behandelingen. Heel vaak stellen gezondheidsonderzoekers dat ze niet goed begrijpen waar deze verschillen vandaan komen en waarom het probleem zo hardnekkig is. Historici Rina Knoeff en Karen Hollewand geven tijdens deze publiekslezing antwoord op deze vraag, met veel historische voorbeelden. |
