Samen met partners uit de stad en uit de regio onderzoeken we hoe we relaties opbouwen, hoe we kennis kunnen co-creëren en hoe we betekenisvolle verbindingen maken. IDEA Center (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access Center) en UNIC (een samenwerkingsverband van tien universiteiten verspreid over Europa waar de EUR de coördinator en partner van is) nodigen jullie graag uit voor een inspirerende middag waarbij we verkennen wat inclusive engagement echt betekent.

Het evenement Fostering Inclusive Engagement creëert ruimte voor dialoog tussen stads- en regiobewoners en -partners en de EUR-gemeenschap. Dit gebeurt o.a. via het UNIC CityLab-initiatief, om na te denken over hoe universiteiten kunnen samenwerken om maatschappelijke uitdagingen aan te pakken in superdiverse steden zoals Rotterdam. Door middel van prikkelende inzichten, praktijkvoorbeelden en reflectieve dialoog, denken we na hoe engagement inclusiever kan zijn in onze interne en externe samenwerkingen en in onderwijs en onderzoek. Van strategische perspectieven tot grassroots-praktijken, we bespreken hoe inclusive engagement vorm krijgt en nodigen jullie uit om deel te nemen aan het gesprek.

Parallel Session 1 - External Engagement - Mohammed Sadiki and Anne Wijtzes

Dive deeper into the topic of engagement with society. In this session we will share learnings of EUR’s Academic Outreach Programme. This programme focuses on promoting equal educational opportunities for children and youth in Rotterdam, collaborating with pupils, parents, schools, societal organisations, and many more stakeholders. Participants in this session will discover important elements of inclusive engagement. What knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors do we need to engage with society in a reciprocal and equitable way? 

Parallel Session 2 - Inclusive ÌÇÐÄÖ±²¥ - Ana Uribe Sandoval and Yumna Asaf

Explore how inclusive education can move beyond policy and good intentions to genuinely shape everyday teaching practice. Together, we’ll reflect on the core elements of inclusive education and consider how they come to life in real classroom dynamics and how they can be strengthened through inclusive engagement. Using examples and shared experiences, we’ll look at practical ways educators can foster meaningful participation by recognizing the diverse backgrounds students bring, supporting their involvement, and creating learning environments where every student feels seen, heard, and valued.

Parallel Session 3 - Inclusive Research - Kayla Green and Helen Tibboel

In this session, we will focus on inclusive engaged research. We examine the research process and reflect on how we can make each step more inclusive. We will also discuss good practices and pitfalls and invite the audience to share their own thoughts and experiences.

Parallel Session 4 - Internal Engagement - Inge Hutter and Celinka Roovers

Interested in how to make EUR more internally engaged? In this session, we take you along in our Strategy 2030 goal ‘One Connected EUR’ with its priorities of: a culture of (internal) engagement and human centred organization, leadership, and resilience of the organisation. Goals and priorities for Strategy 2030 were defined through participatory methods, especially Appreciative Inquiries, with members of the EUR community. The workshop provides you with a short experience in this method.
