Objectives

After the pandemic, the objective of this mobility project was to encourage students and staff to attend different forms of mobility to gain new perspectives interculturally, educationally, and professionally while also improving their language skills and intercultural abilities. While on exchange mobile students gained valuable competences that are needed in the future working life, and staff members were given opportunities to interact with colleagues and receive new insights to their own work. * * After the pandemic the Erasmus+ programme is again an important factor in the internationalization agenda of SAMK and the mobilities are a valuable part of all the degree programmes in SAMK. We have put effort in finding new partners and increased the number of exchanges in study fields where there was less choice in the past, such as Mechatronics and Fine Arts. Blended Intensive Prorgammes, as a new mobility form, presented more options for those not able to take part in longer exchanges. With BIPs we have had the chance to promote different types of mobilities in our information sessions and the BIPs have been well received by the students. Also our teachers feel that the BIPs can be more easily recognized as part of the degree.
