26 Dec A Multi-language toolkit: Social Inclusion, Diversity and Identity in Student Mental Health and Wellbeing
THE INTELLECTUAL OUTPUT 8 within EMBRACE HE project comprises a multi-language toolkit tackling the manner in which social exclusion that is based on diverse social and personal identities impacts the mental health and wellbeing of higher education students. Whilst doing so, it seeks to present potential solutions and recommendations based on existing examples of good practice, alongside contributing to the higher education community to enhance their approaches and ensure measures that are conducive to social inclusion and diversity at European HEIs. This will be additionally met through introducing valuable and constructive ideas to encourage social inclusion of HE Students regardless of their personal identities thus contributing to the positive impact on student mental health and well-being.
This particular toolkit deals with the social inclusion of the following groups of HE students:
1) migrants and refugees;
2) students with different physical and/or mental disabilities;
3) students of a certain gender identity and/or sexual orientation;
4) students of certain ethnicity and/or religious affiliation, and
5) students coming from various disadvantaged backgrounds (socio-economically deprived; students who
come from rural or remote areas, students who belong to certain age groups, etc.)
