  • Designing innovative learning environments including technology & inquiring about qualification requirements to design educational/ professionals offers (module 2, online study activities, synchronous and asynchronous),
  • Configuring transferable models and tools to develop, implement and evaluate learning and training pathways inthe context of sustainable education (modules 2, 3),
  • Design/select inquiry methodologies/models to develop evidence informed actions in education and training for ourselves and for others (module 3).
  • Through a combination of online learning and a 5-day face-to-face session, students will enhance their practical learning skills through collective assignments and group discussions, and collaboration with peers and professors from different CIVIS member universities to gain a broader perspective on education and training in an interdisciplinary context.
  • Students will emerge with a well-rounded understanding of education's challenges and opportunities in a changing society.

During the module 3, which is the physical part of the BIP, 5 days of learning activities will take place, with a total of 5 hrs/day.

The first 3 days will capitalize the work from the online modules 1 & 2, adding lectures and group work from the teachers of the partner universities, while in the 4th and 5th day a Learning & Development Hackathon will take place, students being required to work in groups (by field of study or professional sector) to identify, assess and curate platforms, programmes and other means available online and in-situ for their professional development following the graduation of their current study programmes. They will need to use their critical thinking and information from the programme to create a learning pathway for a professional to start onboarding as a continuous training / training on the job. They will be supported by the teachers to create an actionable plan, with resources, possible ways to ensure participation in communities of practices, mentoring opportunities and so on in order to make sure they will keep the designed pathway.In the 5th day the showcase will be presented and all group will be awarded, and this will consist the evaluation of the programme, using also a follow up tool to harvest the takeaways from the programme, key learning points, reflection ideas and self-development elements.
