    In Ireland, focused on student with disabilities; emphasis on access to education; more flexible modes of studies; online learning during Covid times]]>     2021-06-09 08:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/projectassistant/zdc0jrvm87aao8km/wish/1595234480     Top-down or bottom-up approach projectassistant https://padlet.com/projectassistant/zdc0jrvm87aao8km/wish/1595242526 More top-down approach popular (institutional to local level)]]> 2021-06-09 08:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/projectassistant/zdc0jrvm87aao8km/wish/1595242526 Reasons to be part of the student engagement projectassistant https://padlet.com/projectassistant/zdc0jrvm87aao8km/wish/1595246464 -The link between studying and societally relevant aspect

    - Research universities are less hieararchical compared to HEI
    -  Disagreed, in Ireland HEI tends to focus on other aspects of student engagement; student representation perceived as too challenging; not touched as a domain, but included recently as the fourth domain; hard for HEI to implement compared to other aspects as it needs institutional engagement
    - Student participation as 'a mirror' of university boards; the importance of students being gathered on a national level and discuss these potential issues; Law in the Netherlands indicates the minimum of rights these boards should have which allows a lot of freedom to individual institutions to put their own rules and laws; a discussion on the process and potential rights instead of what should be happening inside the institutions; system requires a national voice
    - In France, it really depends on the university; mostly all types of student commitments are hard to recognise by HEIs; student mentoring is another type of engagement
    - In Spain and France, PHE students are not in universities they are in high schools; a problem in regulation]]>     2021-06-09 08:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/projectassistant/zdc0jrvm87aao8km/wish/1595254616     General challenges for student engagement projectassistant https://padlet.com/projectassistant/zdc0jrvm87aao8km/wish/1595273033 2021-06-09 08:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/projectassistant/zdc0jrvm87aao8km/wish/1595273033 https://padlet.com/projectassistant/zdc0jrvm87aao8km/wish/1595275866 Language of policy within the HEI.

    - In France, bit easier in the 2nd and 3rd lockdown as more structure and dynamic was created; complicated to accompany students to motivate them to help other students
    - In Spain, 2nd lockdown much easier as it did not happen in a very strictly mode; emphasis on exams at universities; adapting to the new normality]]>     2021-06-09 09:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/projectassistant/zdc0jrvm87aao8km/wish/1595297989     Improving student life of non-traditional students during the pandemic projectassistant https://padlet.com/projectassistant/zdc0jrvm87aao8km/wish/1595308708 Covid made us see new ways of life; creating policies of improving student life; how do we include non-traditional students when we return to student life?

    - Quality internet connection is needed, some students do not have a great connection where they can follow classes, etc.; the problem of access to technology and financing internet connection in France; meetings should be open to more people in a hybrid model
