Objectives

The project focused on KA131 funding to support student and staff mobility at University College Copenhagen (KP), a Higher Education Institution in Copenhagen specializing in first cycle professional study programmes, primarily targeting the welfare sector. The aim was to provide funding and a framework for high-quality mobility for students and academic staff, thereby increasing the international and professional knowledge base, facilitating knowledge exchange, and developing personal and intercultural competences. The KA131 initiative was designed to open avenues for a broader student demographic, including those who might not have access to long-term study abroad programs due to financial or personal constraints. In addition, we allocated 20% of the grant to overseas mobilities in order to strengthen collaboration with partners outside Europe, broaden the global perspectives of our students and staff, and foster networks that complement our primarily European cooperation. We also made use of short-term mobility opportunities, which proved to be a great success. These mobilities allowed students with limited flexibility in their studies or personal lives to still benefit from international exposure, ensuring that mobility was accessible to a more diverse group of participants.
