Systematic Activities Aimed at Promoting Student Well-Being and Developing an Inclusive Environment

At the student residence of the University of World Economy and Diplomacy, educational and awareness-raising meetings, round-table discussions and interactive psychological training sessions are regularly organised to support students’ psychological well-being, ensure meaningful use of their free time, strengthen friendly relationships among students and promote an inclusive environment.

These activities are organised in cooperation with N. Norova, University Psychologist; M. Khodjaeva, Chief Specialist of the Youth Development Office; the UWED FORCE team; and the Youth Union.

Key Areas of Student Engagement:

-             Psychological Well-being: Promoting emotional resilience, self-awareness, stress management skills and healthy psychological relationships.

-             Inclusive Mindset: Encouraging stereotype-free thinking, empathy, tolerance and respect for the dignity of every individual.

-             Social Engagement: Strengthening teamwork, mutual trust, personal responsibility and friendly relationships.

-             Personal Development: Developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills and effective communication competencies.

-             Meaningful Use of Free Time: Encouraging student initiative through interactive psychological exercises, intellectual competitions and collaborative activities.

The sessions incorporate interactive activities, including “Stereotype or Reality?” and “One Situation — A Shared Solution”, as well as other tasks designed to promote teamwork. Students who demonstrate active participation are awarded certificates.

These activities carried out at the University are directly aligned with the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development:

— Good Health and Well-being. Supporting students’ mental health, psychological resilience and overall well-being.

— Quality Education. Promoting an inclusive educational environment based on equal opportunities and strengthening social-emotional and personal development skills.

— Reduced Inequalities. Preventing discrimination and stereotypes while promoting the principles of equal opportunities and mutual respect for all students.

— Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. Promoting a culture of mutual respect, tolerance, safe communication and relationships free from discrimination.

Through these systematic activities, the University aims to strengthen a culture of healthy communication among students, foster mutual trust and solidarity, develop an inclusive mindset and support every student’s active participation in university life.

Collaborative meetings and training sessions aimed at creating a friendly, open and supportive environment continue to be implemented consistently at the University.
