EUTOPIA鈥檚 Inclusion and Diversity Month highlighted a range of student-led projects funded by the Alliance, addressing contemporary issues of inclusion and exclusion with a solution-oriented approach.
This initiative forms a key part of EUTOPIA's broader commitment to inclusion as a core value. Rather than merely integrating disadvantaged groups into existing university structures, EUTOPIA aims to transform universities into spaces that are inherently inclusive and supportive of all their members.
The projects presented covered a wide range of topics, with several already delivering tangible outcomes. These include results being published in professional monographs, contributions to the development of new external elective courses for UL students, and integration into various action plans, strategies, and recommendations.
The following projects were presented:
- HeriQuest (supervised by Lana Nastja An啪ur, UL FKKT)
- Spolno kazensko pravo in marginalizirane dru啪bene skupine neko膷, danes in jutri / Sexual Criminal Law and Marginalised Social Groups of the Past, Present and Tomorrow (supervised by Assistant Vid 沤epi膷, UL PF)
- Pomen enakosti spolov in inkluzivnega izobra啪evanja pri transformaciji v trajnostno dru啪bo / The Importance of Gender Equality and Inclusive Education in the Transformation Towards a Sustainable Society (supervised by Assoc. Prof. Dr Andrej Luk拧i膷, UL FDV);

- Denton (supervised by Assoc. Prof. Dr Barbara Predan, UL ALUO);
- Science, Art & Community (supervised by Professor Tamara Tr膷ek Pe膷ak, MA, UL ALUO).
Student projects play a crucial role in driving change within academia. What unites all these projects is their shared goal of transforming the university into a space for coexistence and open dialogue. It is particularly encouraging that many of these student initiatives will continue as part of extra-curricular activities.
