Description
The project aims to improve the accessibility of teaching at Swiss universities and to guarantee it in the long term. One of the main problems is the lack of awareness among responsible faculty and staff of the diversity needs of their students, which is why the development of an online training and short films to raise awareness is planned. Sensitization is only the first step, however; the catalog of measures therefore includes competence enhancement and innovation in education and training. Participation in the forum of P7 project participants will ensure the exchange of experiences with other universities.
