Public Engagement

Through public engagement, UniBS carries out initiatives that establish a direct connection between the University and society, fostering active participation and the collaborative planning of activities of collective interest, in line with the role of Social Commitment to the Local Community as a driver of cultural and social impact.

In this context, the University is particularly committed to strengthening the cultural, artistic, and musical dimensions of public engagement.

UniBS promotes an integrated set of activities open to the community, including:

• Cultural events open to the local community

Meetings, conferences, exhibitions, festivals, and educational activities—some of which are held on the University campus—to make academic spaces increasingly accessible and a part of the community’s daily life.

• Musical and artistic activities

Initiatives that highlight the role of music and the arts as tools for inclusion and participation, including through the involvement of the University of Brescia Choir.

• Theater and creative workshops

Programs aimed at the academic community (students, faculty, and staff) and open to external participation to foster self-expression, dialogue, and shared cultural growth.

• Collaborations with the Local Community

Agreements and partnerships with cultural organizations, institutions, associations, and third-sector entities to develop joint projects and address the needs of the community.

• Support Services and Promotion of Initiatives

UniBS is strengthening its tools for supporting, monitoring, and evaluating public engagement activities, with the goal of enhancing their quality, effectiveness, and impact.
