Author: Matyáš Strnad
The University of Hradec Králové has joined an international consortium of universities implementing the project UNIversities towards CIvic Awareness (UNICIA), supported by funding from the European Commission.
The initiative aims to translate academic research into practice by developing virtual courses and workshops focused on increasing civic awareness and social engagement among members of Generation Z. These educational tools will also foster the development of soft skills that facilitate participation in public life, support democracy and EU values, and improve employability in the current labor market.
The UNICIA project brings together institutions from Europe and Africa:
-
University of Szczecin (Poland) – coordinating institution
-
Achievers University (Nigeria)
-
University Bordeaux Montaigne (France)
-
University Gaston Berger (Senegal)
-
University of Hradec Králové (Czech Republic)
-
University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa)
The project's total value is EUR 427,364.50, with EUR 405,997.22 provided through EU funding.
