Inclusive Student Civic Engagement as a Pathway for Enhanced Skills & Competences in Professional Higher Education

About

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.

Purpose

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.

Vision

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.
