University Coalition for Student Inner Development

The coalition’s aim is for every student to leave university having developed a sustainable approach to personal growth. In practical terms, this means creating learning environments that foster resilience, a sense of purpose, creative problem-solving and collaborative action. In the long term, this should help ensure that graduates are not only successful in their careers, but also play an active and responsible role in shaping a better society.

In a first step the participating universities will establish working groups to develop common principles, structures and objectives. The aim is not to impose a standardised model, but to create a flexible, practice-oriented framework that takes account of the diversity of local circumstances. As the process progresses, the participating institutions undertake to identify existing internal development initiatives, carry out a self-evaluation and, building on this, draw up action plans. It is also planned that experiences and results will be regularly shared within the coalition so that members can learn from one another.
