Project title: European cities in the process of shaping and transmitting European cultural heritage. International education program for 1st and 2nd degree students. European cities in the process of constructing and transmitting of European cultural heritage. International curriculum for undergraduate and master students. Duration 36 months. Partners: JAGIELLONIAN UNIVERSITY (PL) - Department of Politics and Culture of Mediterranean Countries; UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DELL'AQUILA (IT) - Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Edile-Architettura, Ambientale; UNIVERZITA MATEJA BELA V BANSKEJ BYSTRICI (SK) Context: The project is aimed at 1st and 2nd level students as well as academic lecturers. It concerns shaping and transferring the cultural heritage of Europe, its multicultural image, transnational character, which are the basis for shaping the sense of social and cultural unity of Europeans and for strengthening European identity and active citizenship; the presence of a European cultural heritage in selected partner cities. The city is understood as a tool for finding a cultural community between the national heritage of partner countries and the cultural heritage of Europe. This is particularly important in the period of intensified migration and the phenomenon of penetration and cultural transformation, where the boundaries of national cultures are blurred and create multiple identities. It is equally important for native Europeans to understand the cultural community of nations and minority and majority societies that make up Europe. This approach to cultural heritage equips young people with new civic competences, expected in the labor market in a multicultural society. The project strengthens the internationalization of partner universities, supports the professional development of lecturers, implements the principles of the Bologna system and the modernization agenda of higher education. Introduces modern teaching methods and a modular learning program based on stationary classes and e-tutorials. Needs analysis: literature analysis, statistical data, surveys and interviews with students and academic staff of partner institutions. Project objectives: 1) Strengthening and expanding international cooperation of partner universities, including the newly created unit in IEUJ; 2) Improving the quality of teaching, through the use and implementation in partner institutions, digital technologies and on-line teaching 3) Adaptation of the program offer to the needs of students and labor market requirements, including work in an intercultural environment; 4) Building awareness of cultural unity based on common cultural heritage of Europe (on the example of selected cities) 5) Strengthening the scientific position of project participants by enabling them to develop professional, international research, scientific and publishing activities; 6) Facilitation of access to the developed RES project results. Target groups: students of Bachelor and Master level at partner institutions, lecturers participating in the project; students and lecturers from outside the partnership; local authorities, policy makers, representatives of science and education. Project results: a) a joint international syllabus, lectures and tutorials for the modular course b) recorded e-lectures based on a joint program (in each partner's institution), duration: 45 min. (constituting the basis for tutorials) c)) personalized (based on a common methodological and substantive framework) program tutorials and e-tutorials d) Summer school program d)international handbook for students, in the official languages of the partners and translation into English, correlated with the subject of lectures and e-tutorials, exercises and repetitive issues for students. Copies printed 600 copies (on average 200 in each country) for dissemination in libraries, conferences, meetings with decision makers, etc. e) international bibliographic list of literature for the implementation of the module f) a jointly developed tool for assessing students g) scientific articles - published / accepted for publication in international industry journals / local magazines of great importance and scope (also on-line) / collective publications / monographs h) 3 conferences ending the project and promoting its results (1 per partner) The results will be available on university platforms, on the You Tube channel and as part of renewable energy sources, "in the cloud", through Skype. Added value - synergy between higher education and school education - based on the results achieved in the project, preparation and after completion of the project, conducting professional development courses for teachers in the EU (recruitment through EPALE and the European School Gateway). Sustainability: The Project outputs will be included in curricula of partner universities. Open access to project outputs will be ensured at partner universities online platforms.
