OmniUM (Latin for "belonging to all of us") is the UM dialogue platform that hosts events organised by the UM community to stimulate meaningful dialogues and debates. Starting in September, the centre invites students and staff to co-organise events and collaborate with the OmniUM Team to bring these discussions to life.

We aspire to;

1. Build an engaged community: By hosting regular dialogues, we encourage our students and academic staff coming together to imagine the future. Extending the community’s commitment to civic engagement, intellectual growth, and democratic dialogue. 
2. Encourage collaborative knowledge exchange:  use dialogue to strengthen knowledge exchange, enabling the community to collectively work towards innovative solutions and progressive change.
3. Inspire critical hope: We encourage a mind-set that balances a realistic understanding of challenges with an optimistic vision for positive change. We critically engage with the past and present while simultaneously thinking about how to collectively create an impact in our student community through dialogue. 
4. Encourage Critical Thinking: We aim to engage student and staff in debates that sharpen critical reflexivity. Participants learn to conduct effective communication, connect, and collaborate in the process of considering multiple viewpoints, which are essential skills for personal and professional development.
5. Build Resilience: Working together we learn to consider potential conflict as learning moments in which we can develop  (intercultural) conflict resolution skills and resilience.
