UNICOMM – University Community Active Participation materials now available

 The project's goals included:

• identifying the factors that foster inclusive and active participation of students in extracurricular university activities;
• developing competencies that enable both students and staff to active engagement in academic community life;
• creating guidelines for higher education institutions across Europe on how to support student participation.

By pursuing these goals, the UNICOMM project aimed to redefine the meaning of the academic community in the context of everyday challenges. The project results allow for the introduction of reliable, yet flexible solutions that support the development of a sense of belonging and agency among students and employees of higher education institutions.

The project results are primarily intended for university staff and student organisations. However, they may also prove valuable for institutions and non-governmental organisations working with students and young people.

Co-funded by the European Union's Erasmus+ programme (Key Action 2: Cooperation Partnerships in Higher Education), UNICOMM was carried out by a consortium consisting of the University of Warsaw, the European Students’ Union, Palacký University Olomouc, and the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria.
