Inclusion Action Plan
Qué es
A short, structured way for students to turn what they have learned — in an academy, a course or a workshop — into a concrete plan for a more inclusive campus. Working from real evidence and their own experience, small groups name a challenge, pick one change they can champion, and set out who, what and how.
It is deliberately small: one winnable change beats a long wish-list, and it connects learning to the audit and the living lab so ideas get taken further.
