The Universitat Jaume I has held the 1st Conference of the UNESCO Chair on Slavery and Afro-descendence, under the title "The words that betray us. From slavery and trafficking to racialisation", in which twenty speakers, specialists in history, journalism, communication, anthropology, law, cultural management and activism, focused on racial discrimination through language from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Federico Mayor Zaragoza, Director General of UNESCO from 1987 to 1999, participated in the opening of the meeting through a video intervention. During the two days of the conference, topics such as linguistic discrimination, racism in sport, the distorted account of Spain's slave-owning past in textbooks and the response of public authorities to racial discrimination were addressed, giving rise to debates and recommendations for actions to be implemented.

The event was organised by the UNESCO Chair on Slavery and Afro-descendance and was supported by the Regional Ministry of Justice, through the Agreement for the training and dissemination of fundamental rights, and the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences.
