Multilevel Stakekolder Engagement with the Pyramid Inclusion Model Fosters Access in Higher Education Institutes

Developing strategies, policies and processes for inclusi-on have become imperative in higher education institu-tes (HEIs). Measures to develop inclusion face a signifi-cant amount of challenges, not the least that it is often only considered from a top-down perspective. University of Jyväskylä (JYU, Finland) has a dedicated employee hired to foster inclusion in the whole university level, but involving one person in an insititute of roughly 15 000 students, is not enough to reach all. JYU used Ac-cess4All project’s Pyramid Inclusion Model to initiate and carry out access development activities in multi stakeholder levels.
