Inclusion+
Tackling the challenges of Erasmus+ mobility inclusion and diversity at higher education level
Description

Inclusion+ aims at fostering inclusivity and diversity in Erasmus+ mobility at the higher education level by tackling the barriers faced by students with fewer opportunities, namely students with caring responsibilities and students with disabilities, to participate in international mobility. By establishing cooperation between HEIs and host cities Inclusion+ will enhance both host institutional and cities’ inclusivity.

Inclusion+ activities are scoping review, dialogue forums, and online survey on inclusivity in student mobility to feed into a storytelling report and an online inventory of promising practices. Collaborative laboratories to co-create recommendations for inclusive mobility for HEIs and host cities and co-design a full-fledged prototype for a mobility app. Development of a roadmap and two factsheet checklists to guide HEIs and host cities on how to improve inclusivity toward Erasmus+ students.

Our project aims at improving the partner HEIs’ ability to exchange students in an inclusive way, and foster host cities’ inclusiveness toward international students. Raise awareness at the HEIs and city level of the barriers faced by students with fewer opportunities to participate in Erasmus+ mobility. Support HEIs and host cities’ on how to better respond to the needs of these students.
