Bootcamp 1 – Self-Exclusion and Decision-Making
8th – 10th November 2022
hosted by UPC Barcelona
IDEM’s first Bootcamp took place from November 8th to 10th at UPC Campus in Barcelona.
Around 40 participants of all 5 partner institutions came together for a very hands-on event. The focus of the Bootcamp was to understand the mechanisms of self-exclusion that students experience when considering applying for a mobility program.
Students, administrative staff, and professors co-created feasible solutions for increasing inclusion of underrepresented students within mobility programs in Europe.
The IDEM Project team wants to especially thank the participating students who shared their personal experiences and greatly inspired us and the further course of the project.
