Diversity days are important to raise issues of inclusion and equality. We have selected 14 thematic days that contribute to raising awareness of diversity. The days are carefully selected based on the following criteria:
- International days adopted by the UN or WHO
- Days concerning Sweden's five national minorities: Sami, Swedish Finns, Tornedalians, Roma and Jews
- Days highlighting grounds of discrimination and promoting diversity and inclusion
- EU days that are part of our network and support our work to increase diversity and inclusion
