The second EngageAll peer learning webinar was held on 6 October 2025, titled “Engage and Learn: A Competence Framework for Student Civic Engagement”.
The webinar focused on presenting the newly-developed EngageAll Framework to measure civic engagement in professional higher education institutions. Following the presentation by researchers from project partner Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University Karlsruhe (DHBW), expert speakers from the Technological Higher Education Association (THEA) and Civil Society Europe (CSE) provided their reflections on the Framework. Participants then engaged in discussions on the usefulness and applicability of the Framework in diverse institutional contexts.
You can now watch the recording of the webinar below and learn more about the Framework and how professional higher education institutions can effectively measure and enhance student civic engagement.
The EngageAll project addresses the crucial role of Professional Higher Education (PHE) institutions in fostering active citizenship and highlights the wide-ranging benefits of student involvement beyond academic study. This includes participation in institutional initiatives, local community projects, and activities addressing broader societal challenges.
With a focus on the unique and diverse student body within PHE, EngageAll pays specific attention to challenges students face in balancing academic commitments with extracurricular activities.
EngageAll aims to:
• Raise awareness of the importance of student engagement and civic involvement in developing key competencies.
• Promote wider inclusion, particularly for underrepresented students facing socio-economic or cultural barriers.
• Develop tools and strategies to support PHE institutions in facilitating student engagement and civic participation.
EngageAll empowers Professional Higher Education (PHE) students to actively participate in student engagement and civic activities, regardless of background, for a richer learning experience, enhanced employability, and a stronger link between education and society.
By making these opportunities more visible, accessible, and valued, EngageAll fosters the development of essential skills, civic values, and democratic engagement, building a bridge between higher education and civil society.
