Susana Amante, this EUNICE team’s leader and also Pro-President for International Affairs and professor at the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal), explains that the consortium is \u00ababout opening doors and creating paths for students to explore and expand their horizons. It’s about embracing change, fostering growth, and building connections that last a lifetime.\u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00abThrough initiatives aimed at facilitating student leadership, fostering key competencies and promoting European values, EUNICE Experiential Learning and Mobility team contributes significantly to the overall goal of establishing a European University,\u00bb says Susana Amante. Therefore, the main axis of this working team is about improving experiential learning and mobility opportunities between EUNICE partner institutions. By connecting experiential learning activities, mobility and European values, this EUNICE work package will \u00abcreate a cohesive educational environment that transcends traditional classroom boundaries, allowing students, teaching and non-teaching staff to immerse themselves in non-formal learning experiences across diverse cultural and linguistic contexts.\u00bb This approach will foster \u00aba generation of Europeans skilled in intercultural collaboration, thus aligning with the vision of a more unified Europe that embraces international exchanges and intercomprehension.\u00bb<\/p>\n
Many activities have been taking place recently, including \u00abthe establishment of advisory committees to ensure effective communication and collaboration among stakeholders. For instance, the EUNICE Student Advisory Board met in Mons, on 20 and 21 March,\u00bb laying \u00abthe groundwork for the governance structure of student involvement within the alliance. Other joint meetings and events among representatives from our ten partner universities, such as by the EUNICE Committee on Cultural Expression and Exchange\u00bb and \u00abthe creation of pan-EUNICE student clubs,\u00bb she anticipates, \u00abalong with participation in cultural and sporting initiatives,\u00bb and \u00absummer volunteering camps, will provide students with valuable opportunities to actively shape their educational journey beyond the confines of formal academic settings.\u00bb The next two events planned are a EUNICE virtual escape-room in May, focusing on Europe Day and the European elections, and the EUNICE Alliance Games, a volleyball and basketball tournament taking place at Universit\u00e9 Polytechnique Hauts-de-France, in valenciennes (France), in October.<\/p>\n
According to Susana Amante, these student-led initiatives \u00aboffer unique opportunities to contribute significantly to community projects, while developing leadership, teamwork, problem-solving skills and other soft skills essential for personal growth and collective success.\u00bb\u00a0This variety of activities provides students \u00abwith invaluable opportunities to immerse themselves in different cultural contexts, develop essential skills, and broaden their perspectives.\u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00abBy participating in mobility programmes and engaging in experiential learning activities, students not only enhance their academic knowledge but also become more culturally aware, socially responsible, and adaptable individuals, which are essential qualities in today\u2019s globalised world,\u00bb Susana Amante adds.<\/p>\n
As the leader of EUNICE team working on Experiential Learning and Mobility, Susana Amante leaves an important message to all students in the EUNICE consortium: \u00abtake advantage of the opportunities for mobility and experiential learning, both inside and outside the classroom, whether in physical or virtual contexts. These experiences will not only enrich your academic career but will also contribute significantly to your personal and professional development.\u00bb\u00a0She also appeals for working together \u00abto build a vibrant, global community within EUNICE, where each of us can thrive and make meaningful contributions to our interconnected world.\u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00abCustomise your education with EUNICE and may your academic journey be filled with growth, learning, discovery and countless unforgettable experiences,\u00bb she concludes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u00bbin_container\u00bb full_screen_row_position=\u00bbmiddle\u00bb column_margin=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction_tablet=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction_phone=\u00bbdefault\u00bb scene_position=\u00bbcenter\u00bb text_color=\u00bbdark\u00bb text_align=\u00bbleft\u00bb row_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb row_border_radius_applies=\u00bbbg\u00bb overflow=\u00bbvisible\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ gradient_direction=\u00bbleft_to_right\u00bb shape_divider_position=\u00bbbottom\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb][vc_column column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_tablet=\u00bbinherit\u00bb column_padding_phone=\u00bbinherit\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb column_element_direction_desktop=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_element_spacing=\u00bbdefault\u00bb desktop_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb tablet_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ column_backdrop_filter=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb column_position=\u00bbdefault\u00bb gradient_direction=\u00bbleft_to_right\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ width=\u00bb1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=\u00bbdefault\u00bb animation_type=\u00bbdefault\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb border_type=\u00bbsimple\u00bb column_border_width=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u00bbin_container\u00bb full_screen_row_position=\u00bbmiddle\u00bb column_margin=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction_tablet=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction_phone=\u00bbdefault\u00bb scene_position=\u00bbcenter\u00bb text_color=\u00bbdark\u00bb text_align=\u00bbleft\u00bb row_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb row_border_radius_applies=\u00bbbg\u00bb overflow=\u00bbvisible\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ gradient_direction=\u00bbleft_to_right\u00bb shape_divider_position=\u00bbbottom\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb][vc_column column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_tablet=\u00bbinherit\u00bb column_padding_phone=\u00bbinherit\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb column_element_direction_desktop=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_element_spacing=\u00bbdefault\u00bb desktop_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb tablet_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ column_backdrop_filter=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb column_position=\u00bbdefault\u00bb gradient_direction=\u00bbleft_to_right\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ width=\u00bb1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=\u00bbdefault\u00bb animation_type=\u00bbdefault\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb border_type=\u00bbsimple\u00bb column_border_width=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb][vc_gallery type=\u00bbflexslider_style\u00bb images=\u00bb17294,17293,17292,17291,17290,17289″ onclick=\u00bblink_no\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
