University of Extremadura – Extremadura, Spain
In the last two years the office has carried out the following activities with regard to equal access/inclusion/diversity:
- Support and counselling for students and university staff,
- Lectures, workshops, seminars for students, faculty and non-teaching staff,
- Training courses for peer educators,
- Public promotion.
Training courses for peer educators have been singled out as having the greatest impact. In addition to activities to support inclusion, the office implements binding policy (legislation), strategy/action plans, recommendations/guidelines and preventive programmes to counter exclusionary and discriminatory practices at the university.
The program also implements innovative practices/tools. One such tool is a Gender Equality Plan which is currently implemented for the 2021-2025 period.
