On the 8th day of each month, Luiss organizes meetings aimed at promoting gender equality and inclusionthrough experience-sharing talks, presentations of initiatives, and reflection sessions.
“At Luiss, we train our students not to be indifferent to those around them. We live in a time when we should not seek equality at all costs, but rather we should strive for equity. Meaning that not everyone begins the race at the same starting line, but everyone has the same tools and sneakers. This is precisely the goal of Any Given 8, a monthly platform for reflection that is as relevant as ever. The world belongs to those who want todream. To dream one cannot nor should be indifferent,” Giovanni Lo Storto, Luiss General Manager.
