The signing of this agreement contemplates the generation of projects to achieve maximum development in the training and specialization of human resources, in order to achieve egalitarian spaces between women and men, safe and peaceful spaces, free of violence, and to provide women and men with tools for their full development. 

Some of the topics on which the inter-institutional cross-cutting roundtables will work are:

  2. Training for the full development of women and men, as well as public administration agencies. 
  3. The generation of violence-free spaces and the sensitization of the community in spaces for peace.

On Monday, January 14, the Law School held the Cátedra Prima de Leyes with the theme: State Anticorruption System, taught by Dr. Román Gustavo Méndez, who is currently a member of the Citizen Participation Committee of the State Anticorruption System and a member of the Coordinating Committee of the State Anticorruption System.

From reflection to action

Jan 16, 2019 | Uni Culture, Human rights, Values

Last Monday, January 14, 2019, Dr. Bruno Chávez, Director of Special Projects of the Museum of Memory and Tolerance gave the Cátedra Prima "From Reflection to Action" which inaugurates the January-June academic cycle of the University of Celaya.

This talk reflected on how through historical memory, seeing the mistakes of the past, future events that negatively affect society can be prevented, avoiding not only social crimes such as those that have marked certain stages of history, but also eradicating from the social dynamics actions of violence, discrimination, and violation of human rights, promoting a culture of tolerance that inspires and generates change in the world.

Spaces such as the Museum of Memory and Tolerance, programs for the daily experience of values such as Cultura Uni and talks such as those given by Dr. Bruno encourage new generations to seek a healthier and more committed coexistence with their environment, promoting reflection that should lead to social action.
