Belonging and Inclusivity: A Space for International and Neurodivergent Students in Higher Education

About the Project

This project aims to examine the inclusivity of informal spaces at the university, focusing on sports societies and departmental social areas. The primary focus will be to assess the accessibility of these environments, particularly for international and neurodivergent students, who face unique challenges navigating such spaces. By identifying specific problems encountered by this demographic of students, the project seeks to escalate concerns for further action.
