🤝 A great day of connection, collaboration, and shared vision at Universidad Europea de Valencia.

We had the opportunity to present the European University Alliance to faculty and staff, highlighting our objectives, ongoing work, and both past and upcoming activities. These sessions are essential to ensuring that everyone is informed, engaged, and aligned as we move forward together.

Their collaboration is key to making this initiative a success, and we truly appreciate the interest and participation shown today.

If you couldn’t join us this time, don’t worry - the information session will be repeated in September, just before the start of the new academic year.

Let’s keep building this journey together!

We use every opportunity to share the values we stand for 🙌

This week, the German constitution ( ) celebrated its 77th anniversary. To mark this occasion, our Team at Hochschule Offenburg organised two special events aimed at bringing the core values of the constitution into everyday focus.

We kicked off the week with an open lunchtime discussion on marginalised and feminist perspectives on the constitution, as well as practical experiences related to it. On Tuesday, we wrapped up the week with a powerful workshop on developing strategies to respond to discriminatory and sexist remarks, combined with participatory sessions.

In this way, these activities put the ideas of ChallengeEU into practice: , , , , and the building of an academic community based on respect and dialogue.

A big thank you to our Diversity Officer, Fred Fellner, for organising these thought-provoking events and for always bringing a fresh and diverse perspective to the discussion!
