Decision No: D-0922-03

At its sitting on 26 October, the Student Council decided to support with 322 CHF a proposal submitted by the student association Volta. In the upcoming semester, Volta aims to organise a lecture series at the Mendrisio Campus for USI students and staff. As part of the Swiss link of parity groups at Universities, Volta provides a platform to speak out against all forms of discrimination and it aims to establish and further raise awareness of issues circling parity as a strategy for social sustainability. Volta - Dialogue series will allow students to actively engage with professionals who share their beliefs, work, and strategy. The credit supports guests’ meals, travel expenses, and a post-lecture apéro.
