The University of Bologna will be hosting the Staff Training Week (STW) 2022 Internationalisation for social engagement: boosting the capacity of universities to meet global challenges from 20 to 24 June 2022.
Applications are now open and registration is open up to 18 March 2022.
The global challenges of the 21st century have generated a demand for universities to be more “socially responsible”. Preparing students for an intercultural and globalized world means helping them strengthen their civic and democratic competences through curricular and extra-curricular activities directed to develop more international and inclusive campuses. This implies an update in the skills and competences of University staff. The STW is intended to provide professional staff with tools and practices to get ready for this new scenario and familiarise with concepts like Internationalisation for society, Interculturality, Service-Learning and Civic engagement. It is addressed to:
- International Officers
- Staff working at Teaching and Learning Centres
- Professionals dealing with Third Mission / Community Engagement
The STW programme is free of charge. Accommodation, travel costs, lunches and dinners are not included and can be covered by using Erasmus+ Staff Mobility Grants. Further info about the STW, rules, programme and applications are available online.
