-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.
Events/ Activities
AIUB at the QS Higher Ed Summit: Europe 2024
AIUB’s presence at an international higher education summit represents outreach beyond campus, sharing institutional expertise with global peers and local delegations. The activity allowed AIUB representatives to present tailored lectures and demos about curricula, employability initiatives and internationalization strategies — work that informs local stakeholders and builds external partnerships. As outreach, it functions on a programmed basis (conference participation) and sends clear signals that the university engages externally to share knowledge and build lifelong learning networks beyond campus boundaries.
