The Aurora Student Council (ASC) framed inclusivity as the key focus of their work in Aurora this year. During the semester, Simona Gibalová, ASC President and student of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, introduced an initiative aimed at promoting inclusivity across Aurora universities.

Launch Of The First Inclusivity Event
To get this initiative off the ground, each ASC member was tasked with organising an event at their home university. These events aim to address inclusivity in a way that reflects local needs. The first event launching the initiative was held in March 2026 at the Student Club of Palacký University Olomouc (UP).
Organised by ASC Vice-president Eliška Karasová and Secretary General Kristýna Raimerová, the event gathered UP students around a shared Easter dinner with homemade meals, traditional Easter sweets and cookies, and fun quizzes.
“It was my pleasure to bring such a great initiative to my home university and create an event that benefited our students while also starting a tradition for future ASC representatives,” said Eliška. “What I truly appreciate about this concept is that my colleague and I were able to take the initiative, add our own touches, and create something original and creative in a way that suited us. We truly enjoyed the event, and I feel fortunate to be part of such an inspiring alliance.”

Introducing Aurora and Aurora Student Council representation to UP students
The inclusivity event, and Aurora as a whole, received positive feedback from UP students. Many participants had the opportunity to learn more about Aurora, as well as gain an introduction to the world of student representation in the Aurora Student Council.
