Students and scholars are central to the mission, life and success of universities.

The original and new Magna Charta 2020 include them both specifically and by implication in terms of their rights and responsibilities. There is variation in how students interact with their universities across the globe. This webinar looks at the student contribution, how it happens, its benefits and what makes it particularly effective.

The MCO is pleased to be partnering with the Global Student Forum for this event. The Global Student Forum is the umbrella organization of the world’s major representative student federations. Through its membership it currently represents 183 student unions from 118 countries.
