Awareness-Campaign

Higher Education can play a crucial role in providing solutions to societal challenges with reference to migration issues, rise in political polarisation, radicalisation and violent extremism.

European HEIs can help build inclusive societies in a context of increasing migration flows, demographic changes, and tensions related to identities and cultural diversity.

Building on a thousand-year tradition of international exchanges and openness to the world, universities are well positioned to lead the current societal transition and become the crucible of cosmopolitan societies that value cultural diversity and dialogue.
