This week, our KSU representatives had an incredible meeting with our partners from the Eastern European University of Applied Sciences in Bialystok, Poland.
The heart of the discussion was the impressive project of our Polish colleagues on the transforming of the university landscape and study methods to cater perfectly to the needs of differently-abled students.
In this engaging session, we also dove into the evolving societal perspectives on disability, sharing not just our successes, but also the hurdles we’re taking on to ensure that every student enjoys accessible and supportive study environments. We gained valuable insights into how various countries shape the legal and practical aspects of integrating students with disabilities.
The meeting didn’t just solidify our partnership – it ignited a burst of new ideas and opportunities that’ll guide our future collaborations.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue working together for an inclusive and brighter educational landscape.
