The event is intended as a space for reflection and dialogue on intergenerational learning practices developed throughout the project, highlighting the transformative potential of Community-Based Learning (CBL) in higher education.<\/p>\n

CoblAges is a European Union\u2013funded project that aims to integrate Community-Based Learning into higher education curricula, with a particular focus on intergenerational cooperation and active ageing. By engaging students directly with local communities and older adults, the project addresses key societal challenges such as demographic ageing, social inclusion, and civic participation. It was led by the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu.<\/p>\n

Community-Based Learning, as promoted by CoblAges, moves learning beyond the classroom by encouraging students to co-create solutions with community members. This approach not only strengthens students\u2019 academic and professional skills, but also fosters empathy, social responsibility, and active citizenship.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u00a0\u00bbin_container\u00a0\u00bb full_screen_row_position=\u00a0\u00bbmiddle\u00a0\u00bb column_margin=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_direction=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_direction_tablet=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_direction_phone=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb scene_position=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb text_color=\u00a0\u00bbdark\u00a0\u00bb text_align=\u00a0\u00bbleft\u00a0\u00bb row_border_radius=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb row_border_radius_applies=\u00a0\u00bbbg\u00a0\u00bb row_position_desktop=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb row_position_tablet=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb row_position_phone=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb overflow=\u00a0\u00bbvisible\u00a0\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00a0\u00bb0.3″ gradient_direction=\u00a0\u00bbleft_to_right\u00a0\u00bb shape_divider_position=\u00a0\u00bbbottom\u00a0\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb gradient_type=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb shape_type=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column column_padding=\u00a0\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00a0\u00bb column_padding_tablet=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb column_padding_phone=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00a0\u00bball\u00a0\u00bb flex_gap_desktop=\u00a0\u00bb10px\u00a0\u00bb column_element_direction_desktop=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_element_spacing=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb desktop_text_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb tablet_text_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00a0\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00a0\u00bb1″ column_backdrop_filter=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_shadow=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_link_target=\u00a0\u00bb_self\u00a0\u00bb column_position=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb gradient_direction=\u00a0\u00bbleft_to_right\u00a0\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00a0\u00bb0.3″ width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb animation_type=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb border_type=\u00a0\u00bbsimple\u00a0\u00bb column_border_width=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_border_style=\u00a0\u00bbsolid\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb text_direction=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb]\n

The CoblAges project is closely aligned with the mission and strategic priorities of EUNICE \u2013 the European University for Customised Education, a transnational alliance committed to innovation, inclusiveness, and strong societal impact.<\/p>\n

As a member of the EUNICE alliance, the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV) plays a key role in promoting educational models that connect universities with their surrounding communities. The Community-Based Learning approach implemented in CoblAges directly reflects EUNICE\u2019s vision of higher education as a driver of social responsibility, lifelong learning, and meaningful engagement with real-world challenges.<\/p>\n

Through initiatives such as CoblAges, EUNICE reinforces its commitment to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Strengthening university\u2013community engagement across Europe;<\/li>\n
  • Promoting experiential and interdisciplinary learning;<\/li>\n
  • Encouraging intergenerational dialogue and social inclusion;<\/li>\n
  • Addressing societal challenges at local and regional levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    By embedding CoblAges within the broader EUNICE framework, the project contributes to the creation of a more connected, human-centred, and impact-oriented European Higher Education Area.<\/p>\n

    ConLages is now applying to amplify its methodology beyond Europe, including one of EUNICE Associated Parters, the Universidade Federal de Vi\u00e7osa, Brazil.<\/p>\n

    The online workshop will reflect the inclusive spirit of both CoblAges and EUNICE. Participants include higher education students, university staff, community managers, NGOs, professionals working in the field of ageing, and representatives of local authorities. This diversity is intended to enrich the discussions and reinforce the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in community-based initiatives.<\/p>\n

    The programme features an opening session led by representatives from the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu, followed by a keynote address on intergenerational practices delivered by Professor Mariano Sanches from the University of Granada. A round table moderated by academics from the West University of Timi\u0219oara will allow participants from T\u00fcrkiye, Romania, Portugal, and Spain to share testimonies and concrete examples from their local contexts.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
