U petak, 26. 1. 2023. godine, sa početkom u 15.30 po lokalnom vremenu, održan je dvočasovni onlajn sastanak projektnih partnera međunarodnog projekta STATUS (Steering Transition and Advancement of Tertiary Underrepresented Students, 2021–2024), koji je odobren u okviru Erazmus+ programa. Visoka škola u Vršcu je koordinator i učesnik projektnog konzorcijuma, koga čine i predstavnici Univerziteta ,,1. decembar 1918.” (Alba Julija, Rumunija), Univerziteta Madeira (Portugal), Univerziteta iz Palerma (Italija), WEBIN-a (Western Balkans Institute, Beograd, Srbija), kao i predstavnici CESIE (Palermo, Italija). Nakon pozdravnog obraćanja i uvodnih reči koordinatora projekta i moderatora sastanka, diskutovan je rezultat rada prvog radnog paketa – e-Repozitorijum. Ovaj onlajn resurs sadrži primere domaće i međunarodne inkluzivne prakse u visokom obrazovanju. Istaknut je značaj ovoga produkta, njegova ilustrativnost, ali i potencijal da bude vodič i motivacija za dalja promišljanja usmerena ka izgradnji inkluzivnih sistema visokog obrazovanja i stvaranju podsticajnog okruženja na tercijarnom nivou obrazovanja za zadržavanje nedovoljno zastupljenih studenata, kako u nacionalnim tako i u evropskom kontekstu. Razmatrana je otvorenost Repozitorijuma za nove primere, kao i mogućnosti diseminacije ovog resursa. U nastavku sastanka izložena je koncepcija rada drugog i trećeg radnog paketa, kojima koordiniraju inostrani projektni partneri, uz prezentaciju i diskusiju potrebnih modela za rad. Ovi radni paketi podrazumevaju razvijanje programa obuke za nastavno i nenastavno osoblje, koncipiranje prateće publikacije, kao i prikupljanje, razmenu i kreiranje drugih materijala iz oblasti međusektorske saradnje, usmerenih na efikasan pristup i podršku postignućima studenata koji su u fokusu projekta. Sastanak je zaokružen razmatranjima daljih koraka, termina za realizaciju pojedinih projektnih zadataka, kao i dogovorom o narednim onlajn i uživo susretima.
