ULusófona signs Portuguese Charter for Diversity

Lusófona University signed the Carta Portuguesa para a Diversidade, understood as the recognition, respect for and appreciation of difference(s) between people, including in particular differences relating to sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, creed, territory of origin, culture, language, nationality, place of birth, ancestry, age, political, ideological or social orientation, marital status, family situation, economic situation, health status, disability, personal style and education.

Diversity within an organisation fosters innovation, the attraction, retention and promotion of talent and diverse skills, and represents added value by making the organisation itself a reflection of the society in which it is embedded and operates.

The organisations that are signatories to this Charter assume Diversity as an ethical imperative, translating into a fundamental and guiding principle of their internal and external action, forming part of their values and institutional identity.
