Doctoral schools’ session - The Power of Belonging: Unlocking Inclusion and Growth
Have you ever felt like you truly belong? That sense of being accepted, valued, and included is not just important—it’s key to unlocking the potential of students and staff.
In this workshop, we’ll explore what ‘belonging’ really means—how it connects with diversity and inclusion, and what fosters it in both academic and workplace settings. Discover how a sense of belonging influences well-being, performance and engagement. Through personal reflection and practical insights, we’ll learn to recognize the subtle signs of exclusion and explore ways to create a more inclusive environment based on a culture of belonging and growth. Join us to see how belonging can transform your academic and professional experience.
