INVITE Erasmus+ Project

Erasmus+ Key Action 2 Project INVITE: Developing Competences and Innovative Designs for International Virtual and Blended Modalities.Developing Competencies and Innovative Designs for International Virtual and Blended Modalities (INVITE) aims to improve existing and inspire new modes of international virtual and blended methodologies in higher education. Running from 2022 to 2025 the project tackles different layers of current challenges of digitalisation that are part of the second Digital Education Action Plan (2021-2027), a renewed European Union (EU) policy initiative. The shared vision of the agenda is to enable high-quality, inclusive and accessible digital education in Europe and to support all Member States of the EU in linking their education and training systems to the stage of digitalisation. Furthermore, the project aims to focus on areas of virtual and blended practices and digital competencies in higher education which other existing projects did not cover so far. Namely, it aims to build bridges among digital ecosystems and international and cross-border collaborations in order to enhance the teaching and learning process. The INVITE project furthermore aims to create a strong educational basis for organizing high-quality and meaningful international virtual and blended academic programs and modules. Its focus lies on "student-centred" and active-learning approaches as the foundation of teaching and learning. With such aims, it offers to propose solutions to global challenges such as the Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, it attempts to include disciplines - such as engineering, agriculture, health, and similar disciplines - not usually present to a high degree in intercultural and exchange-connected activities.Partners: AALBORG UNIVERSITET, DenmarkELLINIKO MESOGEIAKO PANEPISTIMIO, GreeceUNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO, ItalyCOLUMBUS PARTNERS, France
