Higher education must play its part in facing up to Europe’s social and democratic challenges. This means ensuring that higher education is inclusive, open to talent from all backgrounds, and that higher education institutions are not ivory towers, but civic-minded learning communities connected to their communities. EU agenda for higher education (May 30, 2017)
It will raise awareness among staff and faculty of higher education institutions to effectively engage with the current diversity of
students
It will develop the capacity of higher staff to understand and value (cultural/ethnic) diversity and sense of belonging, and to design
and deliver learning that is inclusive of the breadth of diversity found in a modern higher education cohort
It will develop a set of culturally sensitive interventions, which can be adapted to various contexts, positively impacting higher
education needs in terms of diversity, sense of belonging, inclusion, retention and success
It will provide evidence and examples of interventions for higher education institutions to develop their own policy and practice on
improving students’ sense of belonging
