The HGKx is an association that provides a platform for former students of the University of Art and Design (HGK Basel FHNW) to network, share experiences and knowledge and support each other. The organization is run and designed by volunteer alumni and students, and the purpose is to create a vibrant and authentic community that adds value to the network.
It is important to emphasize that such organizations can only be successful through active participation and co-creation by all. By contributing their knowledge and skills, graduates can simultaneously make new connections and expand their professional networks.
The FHNW and the Basel Academy of Art and Design FHNW recognize and endorse with their diversity policy the rich cultural and social backgrounds of their students and staff members and promote the awareness of diversity as a potential and resource. The principles of diversity and equality find clear expression at the federal level, in university law, in the FHNW treaty, as well as in numerous strategic papers and documents. The existence of a central staff unit and part-time equal opportunities officers at each university underpin the significance of the principle of diversity and equality.
