Internationalization

In this Blended Intensive Programme EUniWell brings together history educators from different universities in Europe in one course on history education and European heritage. The focus lies on German, Swedish and Dutch history, but students from other EUniWell universities and countries are also invited to take part in this course.

The course is aimed at students of Teacher Training with the subjects History and Social Sciences (Bachelor or Master) from EUniWell universities and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool van Amsterdam). It is organised as Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) with online classes and onsite sessions in Cologne. 

The programme is coordinated by the University of Cologne and classes are designed by EUniWell professors (University of Cologne and Linnaeus University) in cooperation with the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. 

The learning objectives of the programme are as follows: 

• Learning about different history curricula and approaches in history teaching in Europe
• Learning to design and evaluate lessons on national and European heritage objects
• Exploring opportunities to collaborate internationally in history education and discussing multiple perspectives
• Learning about how to deal with difficult memory cultures

Contents will be discussed from different perspectives:

• Practical perspective: How to make choices/ how to activate learners? 
• Moral perspective: What options are there to discuss hot and cold issues? Teaching or preaching.
• Inclusive perspective: How do you reach/ include students who are traditionally not well-served by the system? What are marginalised groups?

The course starts with an online meeting. In the middle of the course, students and lecturers will spend a week in Cologne, including an excursion to Amsterdam, and working on lesson materials. Lessons will be implemented, evaluated and discussed in a closing online seminar.

The programme corresponds to 3 ECTS. Students will receive a certificate after successful participation.

El 2do Foro de Ética en la Educación Superior es un espacio de diálogo sobre la construcción de la humanidad y la sociedad en el marco de la ética, su conceptualización y aplicación a contextos y problemáticas particulares.

En este marco cinco instituciones de educación superior (Universidad del Istmo-Panamá, Universidad San Marcos-Costa Rica, Corporación Universitaria Unitec y Areandina-Colombia), con el apoyo de la Universidad de Murcia, se proponen este 23 de noviembre de 2022 (entre las 14:00 y las 17:30 horas en España) abordar temas que requieren de la visibilidad en los espacios académicos, así como de un acercamiento de su discurso a las y los estudiantes y comunidad en general.

Los ejes que se abordarán en esta segunda versión del foro son:

• Ética en los espacios universitarios (Reflexión y diálogo sobre los diferentes aspectos que las Instituciones de Educación Superior viven es su cotidianidad sobre elementos relacionados con la ética.)
• Ética de las nuevas ciudadanías (Transformación del concepto y aplicación de la ética en las nuevas formas de ciudadanía a nivel global.)
• Ética en las masculinidades y feminidades (La ética vista desde las relaciones sociales derivadas de los conceptos de masculinidad y feminidad en los paradigmas actuales.)
• Ética de la migración y aporofobia. (Teniendo en cuenta la crisis migratoria mundial, abordaremos la importancia de la ética en la toma de decisiones sobre políticas públicas de migrantes y su relación con la pobreza.)
