The University of Silesia in Katowice is organising the campaign Aware University of Silesia. Openness. The aim of the activities implemented under the campaign is to increase the knowledge of students and university staff about the openness of universities, and to open a discussion on how to make studying more friendly to various groups, including people with special needs. We invited experts and practitioners to participate in the event, who will share their knowledge and experience during webinars and lectures.
