Seminar series on conflicts, muticulturalism and public policy: case studies

From February to May 2015, external researchers, officials and civil society representatives will join the members of R&D project "Human rights, multicultural societies and conflicts" in order to pinpoint legal and political measures that might contribute to the prevention and resolution of ethnicity-related conflicts. The seminar series will kick off on 18 February with a presentation by Prof. Javier de Lucas on the concept of tolerance. Subsequent sessions, which are public and free, will analyse specific cases linked to the construction of places of worship, the use of public spaces by ethnic minorities, access to healthcare, school segregation and the prohibition of religious clothing or symbols.
