Higher education student and staff mobility project
Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project aims to open European perspectives in studying, teaching and practical training and raise sensitivity towards other cultures and social conditions. The exchange of teachers and students with partner universities is an essential element to achieve these objectives. Moreover, proven partnerships should be refined and consolidated. The project was distributed based equally on student mobility and staff mobility. The student mobility ranged exclusively on placements in other European countries. Students from the study programs of Social Work, Early Education and Religious Education completed their compulsory internships in the UK (7), Spain (3) and the Czech Republic either in social institutions, schools, daycare centers and churches. As part of the teaching staff mobility, four speakers were invited from practice institutions from Poland (3) and Austria. Three guests gave lectures and supervised workshops during the International Week of the degree program in Social Work: 1. Refugees and asylum in Europe, 2 children in care in Europe. The International Week is offered twice each year. A lecturer from the Bachelor of Nursing Program traveled to Estonia and the Netherlands in the context of a European Network for Nursing and taught as part of a thematic exchange. Three lecturers were teaching at the Institute of Sociology of Jagiellonian Krakow University in the Master Profgram for Social Work on the subjects intercultural social work and community work, thus contributing to strengthening the cooperation between partner universities. A professor of the Bachelor of Nursing and an employee of the Practice Office participated in a training session at the partner institution in Denmark, which was offered as part of a European network in Nursing. The presentations of the invited speakers offered the students of Social Work during the International week an "internationalization at home". Cooperation with existing European networks was strongly supported by the exchange of lecturers and participation of lecturers and administrative staff in professional training courses.
