Conference A4A
Today takes place in Bergamo the conference " Good practices for equity andinclusion in Higher Education", organized within the framework of the project ACCESS4ALL.
The conference will encourage reflection and discussion about institutional policies and good practices developed by HE organisations in Europe to foster the educational and social inclusion of under-represented groups as well as of non-traditional learners. Today's activity pursues 4 specific objectives:
- to establish a map of the institutional policies for attending to underrepresented groups in relation to academic access and success
- to establish guidelines to be implemented by HE organisations to promote initiatives aimed to encourage the access and successful development of students who are under-represented in universities
- to co-create strategies and measures promoting the access, continuation (and success) of vulnerable students and non-traditional learners at university
- to create a laboratory for the creation of innovative and flexible strategies in order to promote the commitment of Higher Education institutions to the most vulnerable student groups.
From international comparison and case analysis and experiences provided by researchers and experts from Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Spain, Finland, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, United Kingdom and Romania, the conference will address one of the important features of the Erasmus+ programme: “Promoting equity and inclusion by facilitating the access to learners with disadvantaged backgrounds and fewer opportunities compared to their peers”.
This activity is carried out as a dissemination action of the project ACCESS4ALL “Laboratory for Polices and Practices of Social Development in Higher Education”, and the following professors will move to Bergamo in order to assist with it: Joaquín Gairín, David Rodríguez, Patricia Olmos, Cristina Pérez and Cecilia I. Suárez. In addition, the day after the conference, they will participate in a coordination meeting of the project. The purpose will be to decide the actions that must be developed in the following months, including training activities, which we will inform you about in the future.
