ENOHE Posts Webinar About Pandemic Strategies

The European Network of Ombuds in Higher Education held its first webinar during the current academic year in early June 2020. A video and slides from the program are now available for anyone who may have missed the event.
The speakers were: Guadalupe Barrena, Defensoría de los Derechos Universitarios, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México; Emilio Olias Ruiz, Defensor Universitario, University Carlos III de Madrid; Wolf Hertlein, Beschwerde- und Verbesserungsmanager der Technischen Universität Darmstadt; and Anna Cybulko, Ombudsman, University of Warsaw. Here is the summary from ENOHE:
As higher education worldwide faces unprecedented and disruptive changes and every institution of higher learning is impacted, the ENOHE Board decided earlier this year, upon the initiatve of our Vice President Jean Grier, to organize a special on-line event. This was done not only because of the cancellation of ENOHE’s annual conference in Athens, Greece due to force majeur but also to enable our constituencies to exchange information on the current challenges.
After short presentations from four distinguished speakers from four different countries – Mexico, Spain, Germany and Poland – participants had the opportunity to discuss what is happening at their respective institutions, especially on how the current situation affects our roles and work as ombudspersons directly or indirectly. The speakers and discussants also looked into questions like „What do we struggle with?“ and „What new approaches have we developed for our work?“.
This ENOHE forum was for sharing and comparing our experiences. It gave us opportunities to learn from, network with and generate ideas from among our colleagues. In addition to ENOHE members from across Europe, we welcomed participants from Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Canada and the USA.
