Together, they explored how students across European University alliances can develop a genuine sense of belonging and proudly identify with their networks. They also presented the Student Identity Building Blocks Canvas, a methodology created within the EU-CONEXUS #IamSTUDENT project to help alliances strengthen student engagement. Thank you to everyone who joined the discussion and shared their experience of building a shared European student identity. #EAIE2025 #EUCONEXUS #EuropeanUniversities #StudentIdentity #IamSTUDENT #HigherEducation #Gothenburg
