Engagement

The theme of engagement is entrusted to Working Group 5 (WP5). The objective is to foster commitment towards a sustainable economic and social system through the planning and organisation of joint public engagement actions (annual action plan).

### **Translation in British English**  

In the context of third mission activities, EU GREEN aims to design and implement a GREEN strategy aligned with the SDGs and sustainable development objectives, strengthening their impact on civil society while expanding our knowledge, reaching new target groups, and promoting new ideas and forms of collaboration.  

At the core of EU GREEN’s mission to raise awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and support sustainable societies in our local communities and regions lies its challenge-based educational model and six Research Clusters. By sharing our expertise in these areas and collaborating with a broad and diverse network of partners, EU GREEN seeks to design and implement a social engagement strategy aligned with the SDGs and Europe’s sustainable development goals to enhance our impact. The goal is to expand our knowledge, reach new target audiences, and generate new ideas and ongoing collaborative initiatives.  

EU GREEN is a university alliance with a strong outreach focus, offering intellectual, physical, and digital resources to tackle complex social issues. To achieve this, an **Engagement Hub** is being established, serving as a point of contact between EU GREEN, external stakeholders, and communities. Through this Hub, EU GREEN partners will design and organise challenge-based activities with industry and society to develop innovative solutions and address the unique challenges of sustainability, spreading best sustainable practices among local actors.  

The **Participation Commission** guides and oversees all described activities, working closely with working groups focused on Education, Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.  

The Participation Commission supports international collaboration in sustainability education, including innovative projects promoting entrepreneurship, and ensures access and inclusion for a wide range of participants in its activities.

Scatti di Sport Universitario - 2024/2025 Photo Contest

Scatti di Sport Universitario - 2024/2025 Photo Contest
The objective of the Contest is to find visual expressions of Sport, collecting photographs of University Sport in all its forms.

The Contest is part of the activities of Work Package 7 ‘Working Group on Accessibility, Diversity and Inclusion’ of the EU GREEN project.

In this sense, the Photo Contest represents an important cultural initiative in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and in particular with Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education (SDG 4) - Ensuring inclusive and equitable education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. Visual expressions of university sport in its various forms should highlight the role that sport itself has in contributing to the physical and mental well-being of all individuals, without barriers and prejudices.

Candidates must capture the essence of these concepts in their photos, reflecting them in their various manifestations and/or showing their interpretations of such everyday moments.

To participate in the Contest, participants must send their entries - no later than 28 February 2025 - by e-mail, (including via platforms for sending large files such as wetransfer, wesendit etc.) to photocontest@unipr.it

The following materials must be sent for participation in the Contest, under penalty of exclusion:

  • A photograph as referred on art. 2.1
  • Application form and release form


The call for entries is published with DR 2537 (Prot. no. 0285254) of 04/11/2024.

Accessibility and inclusion

EU GREEN aims to enhance the quality of life and well-being of all our citizens.

EU GREEN considers social impact and education for sustainable development as strategic objectives.  

Key elements include:  
- Providing individuals with fewer opportunities the necessary tools to participate in society on an equal footing;  
- Addressing structural limitations in educational programmes that do not fully consider the specific needs of certain individuals by working in synergy with public bodies and civil society.  

The pillars of the action plan are the co-design and implementation of a clear and effective inclusion strategy, impact assessment, ensuring continuous feedback, and sharing best practices with other higher education institutions and external stakeholders.
