As part of a larger event “Week of Action and Awareness on the UN Sustainable Development Goals”, promoted by the University Goal Coalition (UGC) from February 28 to March 4, University Carlos III of Madrid is organizing a seminar on the topic of community engagement, on March 3, 2022 (16.00 – 17.00 CET).
The speakers are:
- Silvia Gallart, UC3M, coordinator of WP6: YUFE in the Cities
- Riika Pellinen, University of Eastern Finland, coordinator of WP6: YUFE in the Cities
- Assoc. Prof. Bojana Ćulum Ilić, Ph.D., University of Rijeka, Croatia, member of WP6: YUFE in the Cities
- Adhik Kandeli Naidu, YUFE student and member of the Student Board
Summary: Community engagement is at the core of the European University YUFE, in which UC3M participates. The cities in which the 10 YUFE partners and associate partners are located exemplify different urban models and provide a unique opportunity to work together to develop solutions to local challenges, in a true partnership to localize the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Students and staff are encouraged to participate in volunteering activities or Help Desks developed in close partnership with local governments or NGOs that address issues such as migrations, entrepreneurship or the effects of COVID-19 in secondary school students.
You are invited to participate in this session during which some of our volunteers will share their experiences with YUFE in the Cities!
