Another successful workshop from the Aurora Alliance is behind us.
On 24.9.2024, the workshop Diversity and Inclusion: opportunities for using inclusive practices and policies within Aurora Alliance universities was held in cooperation with Palacký University (UP) and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU).
Speakers during the workshop were:
- Assoc. Ing. Silvia Ručinská, PhD. (UPJŠ)
- Selma Porobic, PhD. (UP)
- Oleksandr Khyzhniak (VU)
- JUDr. Ľudmila Elbert, PhD. (UPJŠ)
- prof. MUDr. Želmíra Macejová, PhD., MPH (UPJŠ)
- Mgr. Jozef Benka, PhD. (UPJŠ)
- doc. Mgr. Pavlína Flajšarová, Ph.D. (UP)
- Dr. Puneet Bindlish (VU)
The workshop was divided into student and staff sections. These two parallel sessions resulted in a discussion that brought together students, academic and non-academic staff to present findings from the practical session and explore strategies to increase diversity and inclusion at the university. Participants agreed that diversity should be seen as an opportunity to improve rather than a problem to be solved.
Many thanks to our valued partners at the Aurora Alliance, and to all the participants and presenters.
