Blended mobility for Higher Education: challenges, opportunities and concrete implementation
Main Info
TCA Description
Erasmus+ new Programme 2021-2027 has launched the possibility for Higher
Education Institutions to implement various format of blended mobility
activities, with a focus on blended intensive programmes and short term blended
mobility activities.
These 2 specific mobility formats are a great opportunity for HEIs, teachers
and students, but lead to several practical questions regarding their concrete
implementation.
- How to
manage the administrative and legal Erasmus+ requirements of these specific
mobility formats (learning agreements, grants, Inter-institutional agreements,
use of the budget, ….)
- How to
design the virtual learning component?
- How to
create innovative content and approaches for these specific “blended” formats?
- How
to ensure an adequate recognition of the learning outcomes of these learning
experiences?
- How to
collaborate with other Higher Education Institutions, but also, internally
within your own institution (management, teachers, communication) to promote,
create and implement properly Erasmus+ blended mobility activities?
- How to
foster the 4 Erasmus+ horizontal priorities (and especially inclusiveness) in
the way blended mobility activities are implemented?
The focus of this seminar will be put on 2 specific blended mobility
formats: blended intensive programmes and short term blended mobility but other
blended formats could be discussed, depending on the needs of the participants.
This seminar will be the opportunity for participants to:
- Learn about
the Erasmus+ possibilities and rules regarding blended mobility opportunities
and activities for Higher Education Institutions.
- Have an
overview of the results of the survey launched in September 2022 and addressed
to the 42 Erasmus+ HEIs (taking part in Erasmus+) from the French Community of
Belgium on the way they are currently implementing Erasmus+ blended mobility
activities (challenges, practices, understanding).
- Exchanges
of practices between HEIs representatives on key questions related to the
implementation of blended mobility (administrative management, virtual learning
component, recognition of learning, innovative approach, communication, …).
- Conclude
the seminar with practical recommendations to ensure a better and smoother
implementation of Erasmus+ blended mobility activities by Higher Education
Institutions (recommendations for the European Commission, National Agencies,
Higher Education Institutions, other relevant stakeholders).
This seminar is part of a broader TCA approach. Indeed, the topics to be
discussed during the seminar, several good practices and some recommendations
are the result of a specific survey. This survey has been launched in September
2022 and was addressed to the 42 HEIs (taking part in Erasmus+) from the French
Speaking part of Belgium on how they are currently implementing Erasmus+
blended mobility activities.
All activities will take place at NH Collection Brussels Centre (Brussels, Belgium), where BE01 NA has reserved rooms for all participants. Rooms (2 nights) and all meals in the programme will be organised and paid by the Belgian National Agency (FR-BE01). The programme will start on Wednesday 07th of June 2023 at 1 pm (CET) and will end on Friday 9th of June 2023 around 2 pm (CET).
Partners and participants
Higher Education Institutions coordinators or teachers, staff in charge
of international relations, or any stakeholders involved in the implementation
of Erasmus+ blended mobility activities.
Selected participants should be a mix of participants that have already
implemented blended mobility activities within their HEI and of participants
willing to implement these new mobility formats in the near future.
