On October 14, 15 and 16, 2021, the 5th edition of the Erasmus Days gathered lots of people attending 5667 events in more than 67 countries all over the word.
#ErasmusDays means three days of celebration of the Erasmus+ Programme in Europe and beyond as a unique opportunity to organize an event, share an experience or spread the word about a project.
On that occasion, the European University of Tirana (UET) and the International School for Social and Business Studies (IISBS) organised dissemination events to discuss the importance of Virtual Collaborative Learning, and how its underpinning pedagogy can support sustainable forms of internationalisation at home.
In Albania, UET promoted VALEU-X in the Projects’ Fair, where the university’s management and the Head of Office for Project Development and Internationalization, Ketrina Cabiri Mijo, congratulated the successful implementation of the project.
Moreover, the University “Fan S. Noli“, Korça organised a dissemination activity with the Department of Foreign Languages to present the draft structures of VCL and welcome suggestions on possible improvements in the syllabi. The objective of the project and the expected results of its implementation were presented, which provides two pilot courses on online teaching so that the knowledge gained during the period of studies can be applied in these courses.
UNIKO will include in this project the Subject of Translation in English Language (Bachelor Study Program) for the first local pilot course and Teaching in English language (Professional Master Study Program) for the second international course.
