Every December, we meet in Olsztyn to strengthen these ties. This year, the visit of #HSO representatives to the #UWM campus was also an opportunity to hold working meetings within the #ChallengeEU Alliance. We discussed activities already implemented as well as plans for the future.

And when the rectors of Hochschule Offenburg and Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski w Olsztynie shake hands in greeting, they do so not only as university leaders, but also as representatives of communities that have long shared mutual trust and friendship 🙌

#HSO #UWM #ChallengeEU

Thanks to Georg Dietrich engagement, cooperation between the universities in #Olsztyn and #Offenburg was initiated – a partnership that continues to grow today within the framework of the #ChallengeEU Alliance 😊

#WeAreChallengeEU

There were workshops and discussions — and also an immersive experience… In short: it was truly inspiring! ✨

A special highlight was the recognition of the “Emine Zendeli” Legal Clinic, which supports victims of gender-based violence and gives students essential hands-on legal experience.

🧡 Together, we rise against gender-based violence!

#ChallengeEU #SEEU #StopViolence

Speakers offered powerful legal, psychological and personal perspectives, including:
🔸 Vilma Dule, activist and survivor of gender-based violence;
🔸 Elizabeta Bozhinovska (HERA);
🔸 Prof. Dr. Hana Saliu (University of Tetova);
🔸 Prof. Dr. Albana Meta-Stojanova;

The seminar brought together law students, academic staff, NGOs, activists and online participants from #ChallengeEU partner universities, with strong institutional support from #SEEU leadership (Rector Prof. Dr. Sadudin Ibrahimi, Pro-Rector Prof. Dr. Veland Ramadani, and Prof. Dr. Besa Arifi)

Great energy, inspiring conversations, and a lot of curiosity about what it means to be part of a European University Alliance — we can’t wait to welcome these future changemakers! 🙌
