Kick-off meeting of the EQUNI project

Representatives of all partners came to Łódź – University of Algarve (Portugal), University of Groningen (The Netherlands), SumFuo (France) and Team Coaching (Poland) – to officially initiate the project „Implementation of effective practices for the development of students' emotional intelligence with particular emphasis on anti-discrimination activities at European universities”.

On behalf of TUL, the work of the consortium is coordinated by the Director of the ICC - dr inż. Dorota Piotrowska, university professor.

The participants discussed the assumptions of the project, planned activities to be implemented in the near future and established the principles of cooperation. The meeting was an excellent opportunity to get to know each other and integrate the team, which until now communicated only online.

The main objective of the project is to improve the emotional intelligence of students in order to combat discrimination and ensure equality in European universities.

The consortium will jointly develop the EQUNI game and mobile application, a procedure and online tools for granting micro-credentials, and a guide for universities in implementing good practices.

EQUNI is aimed at students, academic teachers, trainers, mentors, psychologists and advisors, university authorities and managers responsible for developing and implementing anti-discrimination policy.

The project will include a series of trainings, workshops and summer schools for target groups.

The project is co-financed by the Erasmus+ Program within Action 2.

ICC obtained funding for its implementation in the amount of EUR 400,000.
