Support in student activities

Support in student activities is important because it can help students succeed, develop skills and surpass challenges. Here are some ways in which universities can support students in their student activities:

1 Mentoring: universities can provide mentoring programmes where experienced students or university staff act as mentors for less experienced students. Mentors can provide support, share knowledge and experience, and help students develop the skills they need to achieve their goals in their student activities.

2 Training and workshops: Universities can organise training courses and workshops on different aspects of student activities, such as project management, leadership skills, interpersonal communication or event organisation. These trainings help students to acquire the specific skills and knowledge they need to successfully engage in different forms of student activities.

3 Access to resources: Universities can provide students with access to a variety of resources that can support their student activities. These can include financial resources in the form of grants or scholarships for student projects, technological resources such as access to specialised hardware or software, and information resources such as digital libraries or databases.

4 Consultation and counselling: universities should provide students with opportunities for consultation and counselling regarding their student activities. Students should be able to consult with university staff on project planning, problem solving, event organisation or time management. Consultation and counselling can help students to make informed decisions and act effectively.

5 Cooperation and partnerships: Universities can establish partnerships with other institutions, community organisations or businesses that can support student activities. These collaborations may include the provision of resources, financial support, mentoring or the possibility of joint projects with other entities.

6 Recognition of achievement: Universities should recognise and value student achievement in

as part of their student activities. This may include the awarding of certificates, distinctions, awards or the possibility of including information about achievements on diplomas or certificates of completion.

Supporting students in student activities aims not only to help them develop personally and socially, but also to contribute to the creation of a vibrant and active student community at the university.
