-Education outreach activities beyond campus

- Lifelong learning access policy

AIUB’s outreach activities take learning into schools, partner universities and community venues through study tours, school talks, and collaborative events. Faculty and student groups lead visits (for example the economics study tour) and jointly run classroom sessions with partner institutions to promote peer learning and exchange of teaching resources. Cultural and language events frequently include off-campus components or invitations to local schools, while professional workshops offer tailored sessions for community groups or teacher upskilling. Outreach often pairs lectures with practical demonstrations and take-away materials so that learners in remote or resource-limited settings can replicate activities (e.g., teachers receive lesson outlines and reading lists). Student clubs and offices such as OSA and OPA coordinate volunteer schemes where students deliver tailored lectures or mentoring sessions in local schools and community centres. These outreach programs are both ad-hoc (one-time school visits) and programmed (yearly school partnerships, scheduled teacher trainings), creating recurring touchpoints that feed back into campus programming. By decentralizing learning activities, AIUB amplifies its educational impact and creates clear pathways for community members to access campus expertise and resources.

- Lifelong learning access policy

AIUB’s institutional approach explicitly frames lifelong learning as inclusive and non-discriminatory. The Lifelong Learning Access Policy articulated on the SDG page affirms that workshops, public seminars, ICE programmes and community services are open regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, disability or immigration status. Practically, this is reflected in event design (accessible venues, remote participation options, free resource packs), outreach to underrepresented communities, and the Institute of Continuing Education’s commitment to affordability and scholarship support where required. The policy also guides who can access campus resources: public materials and recorded sessions are posted online; certificate tracks often include free attendance options; and offices such as Placement & Alumni maintain signposting services to help external learners identify appropriate programmes and supports. Where physical facility use is requested by community groups, AIUB follows a clear request/review process that balances safety, pedagogy and equitable access. The combined policy and operational practice ensure that lifelong learning offerings are not only available, but approachable: communications highlight multilingual materials and contact points for those with access needs, and many workshops include sliding-scale or no-fee options. This institutional stance — policy plus practice, ensures lifelong learning contributes to equal educational opportunity and the university’s broader SDG commitments.

- Public events (lifelong learning)

- Host educational events at university that are open to the general public.

AIUB’s public events program mixes free seminars, cultural learning days and professional clinics that welcome non-student audiences. Typical offerings include career and finance seminars (with partner firms), language and culture festivals, and international admissions briefings, all of which feature publicly shared materials and follow-up resources. Many events are explicitly promoted as open to the community and operate on a free or subsidized basis; where a fee is necessary, hybrid models combine paid certification with free attendance options or scholarships. The design of public events intentionally foregrounds learning outcomes e.g., workshops on research writing include resource lists and tool demonstrations; grant-writing clinics provide templates and checklists; sustainability project presentations include replication notes that community makers can reuse. AIUB also leverages student clubs and faculties to mount repeatable series (programmed events) alongside one-off awareness drives (ad-hoc events). In addition to lectures, events often include practical breakout sessions, hands-on demonstrations, and signposting to campus resources so attendees can continue learning independently. This format supports diverse learners from school students to mid-career professionals and fosters local networks between academics, industry and civic groups. The result is a public events portfolio that strengthens community education, offers multiple entry points to skills development, and keeps attendance low-cost and broadly accessible.

Events and Activities:

- Public resources (lifelong learning)

- Provide free access to educational resources for those not studying at the university.

- Free courses leading to certificate or award

- Free access to campus facilities and equipment

- Free access to online resources

 

AIUB continues to expand free and low-barrier educational resources that serve learners beyond enrolled students. The university’s departments routinely publish slide decks, reading packs, and curated link lists from workshops and seminars (for example the research writing and grant-proposal workshops), enabling independent learners to access core materials online. Initiatives such as the sustainability project and translation workshops have produced practical documentation and recommended open tools that community members and practitioners can reuse; the sustainability project explicitly shared lab summaries and replication notes as public learning artifacts. Departments also coordinate with campus bodies, Institute of Continuing Education and the Learning Development Center, to offer scheduled short courses, career guides and recorded sessions that lead to participation certificates without degree enrollment. The placement office and partner organizations regularly point external learners to campus labs and library resources on request, and student clubs frequently provide open tutorials and recorded sessions (e.g., programming and research writing clinics). Taken together, these efforts provide free courses leading to certificates or awards in many cases, free access to online teaching materials, and pathways to use select campus facilities and equipment for community projects when feasible. The approach prioritizes inclusivity and practical skill development: materials and event write-ups are indexed on the AIUB site, and many workshops are intentionally repeatable or scheduled on a programmed basis so that non-students can plan attendance. This blend of open digital resources, occasional facility access and certificate-linked short courses strengthens AIUB’s role as a lifelong-learning hub for the wider public.

-Vocational training events (lifelong learning)

- Host events at university that are open to the general public: executive education programmes

 

AIUB’s vocational training strand bridges academic knowledge and workforce skills through a mix of structured programmes and ad-hoc training. Faculties and institutes run short courses (e.g., grant-writing, translation, research skills, financial literacy) designed for external participants and tailored to immediate employability needs. Many of these are programmed (scheduled series with follow-up sessions and certificates), while others operate ad-hoc in response to partner requests or topical themes. For example, the grant-proposal workshop provided templates and scoring criteria to help researchers and practitioners prepare fundable proposals, while the financial-literacy seminar targeted practical money management skills. The Institute of Continuing Education and CETL coordinate periodic professional development and upskilling courses linked to local industry demands, and student clubs add hands-on clinics in coding, research tools and makerspace practices. These activities intentionally provide vocational content — applied project work, tool demonstrations, and assessment checklists — and are advertised to alumni, industry partners and the public. Several sessions lead to certificates or documented participation that support career transitions. By combining periodic programmed courses with responsive ad-hoc workshops, AIUB sustains an ecosystem of vocational training that expands access to skills for non-traditional learners and community professionals.
