NOVA University Lisbon – Lisbon, Portugal
In the last two years, the office implemented the following programs:
- Support and counselling for students and university staff
- Lectures, workshops, and seminars for students, faculty and non-teaching staff
- Training courses for peer educators
- Improving physical accessibility
- Improving digital accessibility
The activities with the greatest observed impact are peer mentoring programs and psychological support. Students can develop the needed skills through peer activities while also improving personal skills through provided support.
In the context of office activities, the last creative tool implemented was an inclusive and open talk with a larger group of students who were encouraged to share their experiences.
In addition to these activities, the university implements other measures, in collaboration with the office: binding policy (legislation), strategies and action plans developing recommendations and guidelines, and implementing preventive programmes.
