Civic engagement
Our alliance strives to become an agent of change in European society, defending and promoting European democratic values, and becoming fully networked in the local communities.
We are building an innovative university model that branches out to high schools, minorities, policymakers, businesses, the civil society, the wider public, and other entities outside academia. Civic engagement is at the core of this ambition.
Action for marginalised groups
In the effort to promote societal cohesion across Europe, CIVICA runs various initiatives aimed at marginalised groups and other minorities. Building on the experiences of our member universities, these activities aim to improve the situation of the minorities, by highlighting the role universities can play in their lives, fostering engagement with academia, and offering various opportunities.
