Embracing Superdiversity: Building Bridges in Higher Education
Modern societies are superdiverse by nature. This calls upon Higher Education Institutions to shape inclusive educational environments for the benefit of students, staff, and society as a whole.
In our mixed classrooms we do not only nurture informed individuals, but also train proactive citizens of a global community. And in doing so, foster creativity, critical thinking, and a sense of communal well-being. Superdiversity also triggers us to reshape our buildings and services, creating spaces where students and staff from various backgrounds can contribute to a rich tapestry of campus life. At the same time we adopt systems to evaluate and recognize foreign qualifications, preventing loss of talent but also to enrich the workforce with diverse perspectives and expertise.
We invite you to bring your insights and experiences in this topic as we discuss how higher education can play a pivotal role in making superdiversity a positive story.
- How can we create more inclusive and supportive classroom environments for students from diverse backgrounds?
- What are effective strategies for promoting internationalisation at home?
- How can language learning be integrated to support superdiversity?
- Can we learn about your top-down or bottom-up mechanisms, centralised or decentralised services, to improve the experience of all students and staff and promote true inclusion?
- How do you support non-local students in the validation of their previous education, degrees, etc. enabling them to access a shortened educational programme?
We are eager to hear about initiatives at your institution. Let's explore together!
