Under the motto "Equal opportunities and diversity in studying and teaching - (not) an issue for the HSZG?", the series of events offers a platform to discuss innovative educational concepts and present successful practical examples that have brought about positive changes at the HSZG and beyond.

The week will open with a public working session with the Vice-Rector for Education and International Affairs, Professor Sophia Keil, on the topics of equal opportunities and internationalization. The program also includes interactive workshops, lecture series and discussion rounds in which lecturers, staff and students work together to develop innovative approaches for equal opportunity and diversity-sensitive teaching.

Events as part of the Equal Opportunities Week include:

Another highlight of the week of events is the award ceremony for the Teaching Prize of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and the Saxon University Didactics Certificate Plus, which recognizes and promotes excellent teaching.

The Equal Opportunities Week and the Teaching Day are central meeting points for lecturers, students and all interested parties who are committed to shaping a more inclusive educational landscape.

For me, Equal Opportunities and Diversity Week and Teaching Day are not just events - they are a matter of the heart. They are a living expression of how we live our values as a university community and fulfill our commitment to creating an inclusive and diverse learning environment. During this week, we not only celebrate the diversity of our students and teaching staff, but also send a clear signal for teaching that is based on equal opportunities and excellence in equal measure. It is an invitation to come together in a place where appreciation, innovation and the power of knowledge exchange go hand in hand to shape a future that opens doors for everyone.
Professor Sophia Keil, Vice-Rector for Education and International Affairs
