Since its establishment in 1992, the College of Europe in Natolin acknowledges the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion for the European Project and our mission. As a community at the College of Europe in Natolin:
In order to uphold and strengthen these values in our community a Policy Against Discrimination and Mobbing was first adopted in June 2017. Since then, the Policy has been regularly reviewed (last update summer 2021). There were no more than ten cases to date which concerned boundaries in interpersonal relations amongst students and were resolved through mediation and boundary setting.
The Policy ties in with the Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Guidelines (2015) along with the Student Code of Conduct (2022). These three documents clearly define the expected values and boundaries in mutual interactions within the community. At the same time, they offer a clear procedure to report, address and act in case discrimination or mobbing would occur.
In order to promote and safeguard Equality, Diversity and Inclusion based on “gender, age, race, religion, nationality, political belief, ethnicity, religious denomination, language and culture, sexual orientation, disability or parental status” the role of the Advocate for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion was created in July 2021, and the same year an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Charter was adopted.
The Advocate for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion is responsible for counteracting discrimination and exclusion and promoting diversity, through:
In 2022, an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Plan was adopted which outlines the ways in which we currently promote and safeguard our values, and how we plan to develop our approach in the near future.
At the beginning of every academic year, students are introduced to all the above policies and mechanisms, the role of the Advocate, and the availability of the onsite Counsellor. At the same time our students take part in an obligatory Consent & Boundaries Workshop to ensure that the College of Europe in Natolin is a safe and comfortable space for all.
