Campus Life
The EU GREEN Alliance seeks to promote a culture of sustainability among students at the University, and to this end a dedicated working group—“Building a Truly Sustainable Campus”—has been established.
The University of Parma focuses on ten key challenges outlined in its Action Plan. Among these, particular emphasis is placed on improving the energy efficiency of university buildings, protecting biodiversity, promoting sustainable mobility, ensuring efficient waste management, and adopting green procurement policies.
Furthermore, in collaboration with the “Sustainable University” project—affiliated with the Unit for Relations with the Territory, Sport, and Public Engagement—the Campus Life working group implements concrete initiatives such as the Plastic Collection Week and dedicated days promoting the use of zero-emission transportation.
Accessibility, inclusion and diversity
In line with the European Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in pursuit of the guidelines set out in the European Union’s 2035 Agenda, the University Centre for Inclusion focuses on the development of a strategic document that will compile the guidelines and policies to be adopted within the Alliance.
The Centre for Inclusion (CAI) is also responsible for developing Lifelong Learning Programmes (LLLs): distance-learning training initiatives designed for students who face barriers to accessing education, such as economic difficulties, disabilities, or belonging to ethnic minorities, as well as others experiencing limited access to educational opportunities.
Finally, a wide range of activities is dedicated to fostering the active engagement of EU GREEN students, with the aim of involving them in increasingly complex challenges and enabling them to engage with diverse international contexts beyond their everyday environment.
