NAVINCLASS Featured on German Public Radio: Addressing Conflict in the Lecture Hall

A Successful First Project Meeting in Coimbra The NAVINCLASS project officially launched at the University of Coimbra with its first Transnational Project Meeting, establishing the research framework and practical peace education strategies needed to address polarization and conflict within higher education classrooms.

Strengthening Cooperation: NAVINCLASS Partners Align on Next Steps at TPM2 At the second NAVINCLASS meeting in Madrid, partners analyzed empirical focus group data to develop practical, reflective frameworks that help educators constructively navigate classroom polarization. The consortium also finalized logistics for an upcoming quantitative survey and aligned on future project milestones.

Comillas Pontifical University in Madrid and the University of Coimbra Successfully Conduct Focus Groups Comillas Pontifical University in Madrid and the University of Coimbra successfully joined forces to conduct a series of qualitative focus groups. By supporting each other throughout the fieldwork, the two teams gathered critical insights from Bachelor's students, Master's students, and faculty members. The combined results reveal a powerful disconnect: while students face a daily reality of intense political polarization, discrimination, and media-driven controversies in the classroom, teaching staff are often unaware of the deep impact these hidden dynamics have on the student body.
