WHO WE ARE

The Student Engagement Team (SET) was established in September 2020 by a group of second year master’s degree students from the Human Rights and Multilevel Governance (HRG) program at Università degli Studi di Padova (UniPD) in response to the need for an intermediary body to relay information between the student body, the faculty and the administration. Our mission is to amplify student voices by documenting their concerns and collaborating with contributors to develop interventions that benefit all stakeholders. Our vision is to foster transparency, inclusion and equity using the Sustainable Development Goals as a guide.

WHAT WE DO

Human Rights from the Classroom to the Real World

HUMAN RIGHTS AWARENESS

As scholars, we consume and produce a wealth of knowledge about the protection, promotion and implementation of human rights. Our team refines this information and shares it with the public using our social media platforms in ways that encourage dialogue.

PEER SUPPORT

We provide peer support that encourages sharing ideas, fostering friendships and inspiring future leaders. Novices are paired with sophomores in a one-one ratio ensuring that no student feels neglected, encompassing the spirit of human rights promotion.

PROFESSIONAL AND ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT

We gather resources from professors, alumni and industry professionals and compile an accessible database for continuing education, exposing students to diverse perspectives and career options in the field of human rights, thus enhancing our leadership training workshops.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

The period of Covid lockdowns and social isolation has reaffirmed the importance of fostering strong community ties. We are dedicated to connecting students with institutions and individuals that desire to incorporate human rights knowledge into their practices.
