SMILE Policy Round-table: Policy Recommendations for a more inclusive Higher Education | 20 September, Brussels
ESU & SOLIDAR Foundation cordially invite you to the SMILE Policy Round-table: Policy Recommendations for a more inclusive Higher Education.
Registration via this form.
The SMILE project has developed a set of tools on Diversity and Inclusion that can help Policy Makers, HEIs and Civil Society to improve their strategy for a better and more suitable implementation of inclusion approaches in our society and to encourage their collaboration in the future.
The SMILE round table will allow participants to learn which are tools developed and to discuss their suitability and realistic use in Europe. The session will start with a global introduction to the SMILE project, then we will concentrate on the Policy Recommendations and Action Plan developed and we will open the debate to the participants to seek their views on the work done, the usability of the document and the relevance in our society.
Participants could prepare for this activity by visiting the SMILE website, especially by looking at the Policy Recommendation and Action Plan developed by the project.
