M. de Carvalho Filho

Our project tackles the lack of diversity and inclusion in Dutch academia, especially for groups like first-generation citizens, racialized minorities, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and low-income students. These students face many challenges, such as prejudice and limited resources. We're creating a new program using innovative teaching methods to empower these students and improve diversity in teacher and medical training. Our goal is to make education and healthcare more inclusive, benefiting everyone. This initiative is not just about changing classrooms but also about transforming the future of education and healthcare.
