In the summer semester of the academic year 2021/2022, a group of students and lecturers formed at UWB and gradually became known as the Feminist University Circle (FUK). FUK is based on the idea of intersectional equality, which refers not only to gender equality between women and men, but equality across the spectrum of society. “Intersectionality expresses the complex mix of factors in inequality, both focusing our attention on issues around race, gender, language proficiency, citizenship status, among others, but also on the context and structures that shape their incurring privilege and disadvantage.” (Woods, Benschop, Brink 2021). The Circle creates a safe space and builds a community based on respect for differences. It is neither hierarchically organised nor institutionally bound, it is open to anyone who cares about the values of the society in which they live and will live in the future.

The values that FUK holds can be expressed by the can be expressed by the acronym DOERS: Dialogue, Openness, Equality, Responsibility, Safety. Based on these values, FUK wants to strengthen the university as a socially responsible institution, the university as a safe space for equal opportunities, the university as a place for mutual enrichment of learners and teachers, and the university as a creator of values for the 21^st century.
