University of Pau and the Adour Region – Pau, France
In the last two years the program 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.
In addition to activities to support inclusion, the program implements binding policy (legislation), strategies/action plans, recommendations/guidelines and preventive programmes to counter exclusionary and discriminatory practices at the University.
The program also encapsulates innovative practices/tools such as the “UPPA Solidarity” initiative for students, which aims to actively strengthen inclusion and promote peer support. “UPPA Solidarité” was started in March 2021 and its objectives were to offer students a wide variety of support systems connected to health, well-being, digital autonomy, social assistance and food aid.
