Introduction  

•  A few words about the UNICOMM Project

 Webinar 1

• Stronger Together: Peer Coaching as a Tool for Enhancing Engagement
  Małgorzata Wiśniewska, the Volunteer Centre of the University of Warsaw
  

  How can we foster real connection within academic communities? In this session, we will explore the Peer Coaching Group (PCG) method — a structured yet flexible approach that empowers students and staff to learn from one another, build trust, and co-create meaningful change on campus. Drawing on practical experience and proven facilitation techniques, we will share how PCGs can become a powerful tool for developing belonging, agency, and sustained collaboration in higher education settings.

  Whether you are working with student groups, academic teams, or broader university networks, this webinar will offer fresh insights, concrete examples, and space for reflection on what it takes to truly engage a community.

  How can we create spaces in academic settings where everyone feels invited to participate, be engaged and build a sense of belonging? In this session, we will explore lessons from the UNICOMM Project focused on strengthening academic communities.

  Based on hands-on experience and selected practices from the UNICOMM HintBook, we will look at what it takes to foster trust, openness, and inclusion—especially in diverse and dynamic university environments. Through stories, tools, and concrete examples, we will explore how to create the conditions for deeper community engagement.

  This webinar is for anyone interested in creating more supportive academic spaces—whether in classrooms, student groups, or university initiatives.
