The Counselling for Equality #Inclusive
The mission of the Students’ Counselling for Equality # is to disseminate the idea of equality both on campus and outside of it, in a broad context. The Counselling’s mission includes sensitising the academic and non-academic, i.e. civic, communities to issues related to social exclusion, discrimination, as well as raising awareness of equality in its broadest sense. The Students’ Counselling for Equality # Inclusive offers help to non-normative people in various aspects. We are open to helping non-heteronormative people, people with physical or intellectual disabilities people experiencing mental health problems, people experiencing discrimination e.g. on the basis of their gender or ethnicity, ERASMUS students and international students.
As a Counselling Centre we carry out expert, informative, research, advisory, social and promotional activities. We also act as an advisory voice for the Plenipotentiary for Equal Treatment at the University [Pełnomocniczka ds. Równego Traktowania na Uniwersytecie]. By undertaking specific activities (which we will keep up to date), we want to reach as many people as possible to promote equality and counteract exclusion, marginalisation and discrimination at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń and in the city of Toruń. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming and inclusive space for all people (from the academic community and the city of Toruń) experiencing inequality and exclusion, so that they have 'permission to be themselves' and do not have to experience anxiety nor fear. The aim is also to fight for the civil rights of people - the subject of our Counselling Centre's activities.
To meet our objectives, we have prepared for you a list of contacts offering support in various situations. We encourage you to print the file and share it with a wider group.
