The participation of the students has been a constant in all major processes of educational and social transformation and is one of the most powerful vectors for progress towards an egalitarian and inclusive society. In a context of great progress in terms of cooperation and integration of students’ participation in higher education systems, it is key to delve into new models of democratic governance and to open new approaches focus on students’ participation in four dimensions: governance and management; academic and quality; social, cultural and athletic; equality and inclusion.
The 1st International Conference on Student Participation seeks to address all the dimensions in which student participation develops and can develop within higher education institutions, with a multilevel and multi-stakeholder approach. Therefore, we invite all stakeholders and enthusiasts of students’ participation in higher education to participate in the first edition and submit proposals.
