Scholarship Programme of to a great start
Spirits were high and ideas were filling the air, as students and lecturers from institutions across Denmark joined the first Bevica Scholarship Programme Ideation Workshop.
The group assembled in Korsør to meet each other for the first time, and get an introduction to the Scholarship Programmes goals and core concepts.
The participants had input from experts from a range of disciplines and attended hands on workshops to get a better understanding of different tools as well as their own roles, bias, knowledge production and representation.
Thank you to all that attended, we look forward to see you again in March.

The event was completed with the announcement of the Bevica Scholarship Programme, which will carry on the discussion. The hosts for the launch were Thomas Sinkjær, Chairman of Bevica Fonden, and Anders Bjarklev, Principal of the Technical University of Denmark.
Thomas Sinkjær – Chairman of Bevica Fonden and the Bevica Scholarship Programme Jury:
“Access and inclusion are pre-requisites for full participation in every aspect of our daily lives.
The concept of Universal design is based on a human view that recognises that living with different abilities is the common human condition and not a minority issue. There is an urgent need for more knowledge, research, and teaching, across all professions and sectors, if we are to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal’s obligation to Leave No One Behind – and all professions are needed in the process.
The Bevica Scholarship Programme will contribute to a long-term strengthening of focus on, and knowledge of, Universal design and the Leave No One Behind agenda across multiple academic fields and professions.”
Universal Design Hub is collaborating with universities, university colleges and design schools to bring the news of the Bevica Scholarship Programme to a school near you. During November 2022 we will be traveling the country.
