4.3.2.2. AMU As part of initiatives taken by Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, towards increasing inclusion, AMU is engaged in a number of activities aimed at promoting socially inclusive tools, services, and behavior towards the whole University community. These usually address minority groups or groups at risk of social exclusion. To do that AMU is consistently developing its strategic activities and tools in order to support students with disabilities, which are represented by a Rector‘s Representative for Students with Disabilities. AMU also promotes socially responsible behavior towards potentially excluded social groups (such as, for instance, the Visible Hand initiative aimed at helping the elderly members of the AMU community during the COVID-19 pandemic). Importantly, when supporting minority groups within AMU, the university also focuses on transgender persons by, for example, developing new inclusive tools or running training aimed at increasing the awareness of AMU staff about transgender persons and their legal situation. Furthermore, to respond to the increasing internationalization of AMU, Poznan, and of Poland in general, a number of bodies operate within Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznán: BILINGUALISM MATTERS @POZNAN Bilingualism Matters (BM) @Poznań is a branch of Bilingualism Matters, an internationally recognized center at the University of Edinburgh. Within AMU BM @Poznań is affiliated with the Faculty of English and has the following aims: • To increase general awareness concerning bi/multilingualism • To encourage bi/multilingual schooling policies • To make research findings accessible to general public • To help make informed decisions on language learning and use • To promote knowledge concerning linguistic diversity in Poland and beyond • To encourage minority language maintenance • To establish links with other BM branches The importance of multilingualism and multiculturalism is emphasized within the mission and all activities organized by Bilingualism Matters @Poznań. BM @Poznań strives to promote linguistic and cultural diversity by means of organizing regular open lectures, workshops, and individual consultations – all aimed at promoting knowledge, increasing general awareness, and encouraging new schooling policies. BM @Poznań cooperates with parents, teachers, health professionals, policy makers, and employers. Center for Migration Studies AMU At the Center for Migration Studies (CeBaM) at AMU social and cultural anthropologists conduct research on international migration. The results of the conducted research are disseminated outside scientific communities and translated into policy and programmatic recommendations. There are three main activities that take place in CeBaM: a) Research activities b) Educational activities c) Practical activities, which will be explained in more detail in the following paragraphs.

Actions – On Inclusion in EPICUR a) Research activities: The center is a cooperation platform for scholars researching a wide range of migration phenomena and carries out interdisciplinary as well as international research project. The specialization of the Center for Migration Studies lies in conducting basic qualitative and participatory action research. b) To disseminate the acquired knowledge the Center offers public lectures on international and forced migration, refugee and immigrant integration, and cultural diversity. It also organizes didactic activities, including workshops and classes for students on the subject of international migration. c) Last but not least the center also collaborates with municipal governments, public officials and non-governmental organisations to apply its research findings to practical solutions. To that effect the first Migrant Info Point (MIP) was opened in 2013 by CeBaM, a first information clearing house and advisory point for immigrants in Poznán. AMU WELCOME CENTER AMU also runs a Welcome Center, which serves as a point of contact for foreign AMU guests and carries out the following tasks: • providing foreign University guests (including students and PhD students) with information about the University (involving the University principles and organisation, course of study, or social and welfare issues), about the city, the region, as well as legal and formal issues (including safety and medical care) related with the legalisation of residence, getting around the city, the region, and the country, • informing about accommodation in AMU students’ dormitories in Poznań • walking the international students through the process of choosing a research tutor/mentor • providing help and assistance in solving issues related with visas, health insurance or residence legalisation • gathering and sharing information about open events organised for students in the city and region • organising guided tours of the University Faculties and their premises • providing training courses and workshops on AMU activity, characteristics and specificity of Departments, Faculties, doctoral schools, research centres, as well as interfaculty and non-departmental units • organizing meetings and events for and with participation of international students and workers, both periodic (like orientation day, culture week, the University holiday) and occasional (like events organised within the framework of Academic Poznan initiative) • preparing and organising different activities both for AMU international students and workers, in cooperation with the students’ council, ESN (Erasmus Student Network) and study groups Page 33
