The Daugavpils University Society for Lifelong Learning, Culture, and Science Communication “Park of Intellect” has developed a set of educational materials dedicated to intercultural communication, gender equality, non-discrimination, and personal experiences of integration into Latvian society within the framework of the project “Society of Opportunities. Intercultural Communication Training for Professionals from Various Fields to Strengthen the Framework for the Integration of Third-Country Nationals”.
The teaching and methodological resource “Gender Equality and Non-Discrimination Principles” (author Dr. philol., Assoc. Prof. Sandra Meškova) addresses issues related to gender equality, associated challenges, and possible solutions. The publication examines equality and the prevention of discrimination in the workplace and everyday life, drawing on theoretical insights and materials from European and Latvian institutions. Interactive tasks and recommendations for discussions and self-study help connect theoretical knowledge with practical situations.
The set of educational materials also includes four videos – “Belonging in Latvia”, “I Have Always Been Fortunate in Latvia”, “Openness Leads to Understanding”, and “Latvia Needs People”. The videos are presented in an interview format, featuring third-country nationals from Bangladesh, India, Russia, Sudan, and Sri Lanka. In each video, participants share their experiences of living in Latvia, offering their impressions and reflections on integration into society and communication with representatives of different cultures. Their personal stories reveal diverse perspectives on belonging and encourage dialogue on intercultural communication and mutual understanding.
The teaching and methodological materials are available HERE.
