The second awareness day expanded the dialogue to the national level. It featured formal speeches,presentations of project results, and visual documentation of student-led engagement activities. Importantly, it brought together not only academic stakeholders but also regional and national policymakers, local government officials, associated partners, employers, and NGOs, thereby reflecting the project’s relevance beyond academia.

NAD2 (National-level at BSU) amplified the message beyond campus—showcasing results and engaging a wide stakeholder mix (HEIs, policymakers, employers, NGOs, media, and school pupils). Creative public activities and a Q&A-driven format broadened reach, while evidence (website/press coverage, attendance lists, slides, and 90+ photos) documented impact and supported sustainability next steps.

NAD2 Panel (hosted at BSU): Expanded to national considerations—stakeholders emphasized aligning higher-education outcomes with labor-market needs and strengthening policy links. Employers and HEIs welcomed replication of BSU’s in-house trainings; panel feedback called for a concise policy brief for
ministries/QA agencies, model syllabus inserts and assessment rubrics, bilingual (GE/EN) materials, an EDI toolkit adapted to regions, an impact dashboard, and a trainer-of-trainers workshop to support scale-up.

NAD2 (National hosted by BSU): Disseminated project outcomes at national scale, convening HEIs, policymakers, employers, NGOs, media, and pupils; showcased onsite/online/in-house training results and SS Lab roadmap; and used creative public activities to broaden reach and impact. Evidence included BSU website/press coverage, attendance lists, slides, and 90+ photos.

NAD2, Public-facing outreach intensified – BSU website and social platforms, plus local media coverage; stakeholder invitations were issued, and agendas, presentations, flyers/posters were shared. Visibility was boosted through creative activities (discussion), with impact captured in 91 photos, attendance lists, and slide decks; press/newsletter links are recorded for verification.
