CULTURAL PREPARATION COURSE FOR NORTH AFRICAN STUDENTS
COMING TO EUROPE
Aims:
To develop and organise tailor-made cultural preparation courses
for North African students who start a European study experience
as well as for those who wish to undertake studies in Europe in
the future, to develop an eCourse on the same topic in order to
reach a broader public and to provide a toolbox for universities
wishing to engage in similar programmes in the future.
Objectives:
- To improve efficiency and accessibility for students from
North Africa and the Middle East entering the EHEA
- To further knowledge and cultural awareness of European Cultures,
the European Union and the EHEA
- To increase the intercultural skills of candidate and arriving
students from North Africa and the Middle East at European Universities
Target Groups:
- Student Population in North Africa (both candidate students
and arriving students at European Universities)
- North African, Middle Eastern and European Student Population
at large
- EHEA and the EuroMediterranean Higher Education Area
- The EuroMediterranean Society as such
Main Activities:
- Workshop on Training Needs and Methodology
- Run 4 Training Courses at different Partner Institutions
(Granada, Pavia, Mechelen, Tunis)
- Project Website
- eCourse on cultural preparation for the wider potential student
public in North Africa and the Middle East
- Toolbox for universities in Europe, North Africa and the Middle
East wishing to engage in similar activities
Expected Outputs:
The target groups will be better prepared (culturally) before
starting a study programme at any European University, which will
enhance better academic results. They will be better informed
about the profile of the EHEA and the Bologna Process and will
automatically gain an increased interest to come and study at
European Universities. Students coming from the target regions
will come to consider cultural differences as a source of enrichment
rather than a source of divide between the neighbouring cultures.
