Amsterdam, 29 May 2026 – At the last day of the very successful Global Citizenship Symposium, organized in Amsterdam by the Aurora network of European Universities, two out of three awards went to EURIDICE. A joint team of EURIDICE researchers won the best presentation award. The best poster went to the DIGISOC students. The Global Citizenship Symposium brought together academic staff and students from many countries to discuss themes of Community Service Learning, Peace and Conflict Resolution and Education for Societal Impact.
From EURIDICE there were participants from the universities UPEC, KKNU, UNINA, CBS, UIBK, Palacky University, UNIMAS, and also the small entreprises AKMC, Pangea and Babafla were represented. The DIGISOC student presence was high with four students from this innovative European master of Digital Society, Social Innovation and Global Citizenship: Chiara Arreghini, Paolo d’Angelo, Andy Andy and Han Ningxin. Andy gave a presentation on how to transform learning management systems (LMS) into social learning platforms (SLP). Chiara and Paolo presented a poster about the DiGISOC master experience, which was very relevant in this conference, titled: A Laboratory for Experiential Learning in Global Citizenship. Han could not be in Amsterdam but sent a poster about Algorithmic Monetization vs Human Rights.
Apart from working sessions there were social diners and pleasant conversations throughout the week between all EURIDICE participants.
The best presentation award was given to Cheah WaiShiang from UNIMAS on behalf of the whole EURIDICE team for their paper about Social and Community Development: The Plug-in Principle.
