Well-being is a prerequisite for learning and thriving at a university. Ensuring a study and workplace environment that accommodates as many students and employees as possible requires of us that we examine our practices and hone our ability to listen to each other – to put ourselves in our students, co-students, and colleagues’ shoes. How do they experience our shared world at the university? What can we do to make sure that everyone feels the sense of belonging crucial to our university community?

It is in this spirit of openness and mutual understanding we are happy to announce that IT University of Copenhagen has introduced the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower programme on campus.

Rector Per Bruun Brockhoff:

"Ensuring well-being is paramount for fostering learning and growth. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Programme is a great initiative that invites us to reflect on our practices and strengthen our empathy. By considering the experiences of our students, colleagues, and peers, we can create an inclusive environment where everyone feels a profound sense of belonging and support within our university community."
