RUN-EU is an alliance of higher education institutions drawn from all regions of Europe. The EU and RUN-EU both aim to foster common understanding, further development, and trust amongst its members. This brings with it certain challenges. This SAP will help prepare staff for those challenges by addressing questions such as: What is this world of RUN-EU? What does it mean to promote a European University that embodies the values of sustainability, multiculturalism, and inclusiveness in all its work? How can I navigate my way through it? How can I operate and work effectively in such a multicultural and multilingual context among the alliance regions?
The aim of this SAP is to develop staff awareness among RUN-EU that contributes to its mission, aims, and goals. Supported by mobility, innovative pedagogies and blended learning activities, the programme also aims to contribute to societal needs, lifelong learning. and training in work environment.
In this context, staff (administrative staff and professors) will:
- deepen knowledge about RUN-EU
- explore their own culture and learn about other cultures
- develop a critical cultural awareness of their immediate, regional, global environments in RUN-EU
- develop cross-communication skills when exchanging ideas with others from different backgrounds.
