Diversity Day Events 2024

Diversity Day Event, 07 November 2024

DELP’s Diversity Day event on 7 November, 2024 focussed on social issues affecting Australian Indigenous people.     

The interactive event was moderated by Cecilia GALL, DELP's lecturer in Australian Studies. After an introduction about  Australian Indigenous filmmaker, Warwick Thornton, whose first full-length film, Samson and Delilah, won the Camera d’Or prize (awarded for best first feature film) in Cannes in 2009, we viewed and discussed one of his short films, "Green Bush" (2005), where the director uses the medium of film in a unique way to tell sometimes painful and confronting stories about Indigenous life in Australia today. Issues of health care, poverty, violence, substance abuse, education but also of a close-knit community were raised.A short clip can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuIYPm8tbvs

This Diversity Day event at ELTE DELP bore the title: Making sustainability a mindset. The activities and ideas for further consideration were presented by our DELP colleagues Margit Szesztay, Rita Divéki and Éva Major as well as Peter Holly (Freelance teacher trainer from Kaposvár).We heard about important concepts related to sustainability, were given an overview of the 17 goals of sustainable development,  we enjoyed activities to discuss ways to develop our approach to sustainable living, and were also given the opportunity to consider teaching activities  to combine language and content teaching. Finally, we heard about the CHARM-EU Programme, which is the Challenge-Driven, Accessible, Research-based and Mobile model for the co-creation of a European University aligned with the European Values, the European Green Deal and the sustainable development goals.
