UPV is at 20x30 Europe's Advanced Digital Skills Summit, in Madrid, representing the EIT HEI's Skills2Scale project! #Skills2Scale #20x30ADSSummit #AdvancedSkillsSummit #AdvancedDigitalSkills #EIT_HEI #DeepTechTalent #EuropeanUnion

I’ve officially started my first day as a 𝗣𝗵𝗗 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 Estonian Business School. I had been searching for the right program for years, and although I found a few promising ones, they were located in the US or Asia, which made regular physical attendance difficult. Since I prefer being present in person, Estonian Business School was a perfect fit. What excites me the most is that they offer an experimental track, which aligns with my interests. This research journey isn't about simply obtaining a degree—I'm genuinely passionate about my topic and eager to dive deeper into it. The effort I've invested in finding the right program has paid off, and I feel confident that I'm on the right path. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆? Discovering that I wasn’t the only one feeling nervous was reassuring. A new environment, a different approach, and the academic rigor can be intimidating, but the support from my peers made it easier. We’ve already had a doctoral seminar and covered research design, both of which were engaging as we introduced ourselves and our projects. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗜 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆? ✅ I filled five pages of notes, which I’ll need to review in detail. ✅ Regardless of expertise, there is always more to learn—I have a long journey ahead. ✅ Searching for relevant articles is an art in itself. ✅ Learning to navigate databases and academic libraries is like mastering another science. ✅ Building a network of experts and peers in your field is crucial. ✅ I know I’m in the right place. Yes, the road ahead will be challenging, but it’s through these challenges that we transform into better versions of ourselves. Grateful for the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution. Grateful to meet my new colleagues: Abella Gamze A.

⭐️ The Role of Microcredentials in VET 🌐 The digital transformation is reshaping society, the job market, and the future of the economy. As a result, VET systems face the challenge of rethinking and adapting teaching methodologies to meet the needs of companies in the digital environment. 🎓 Microcredentials play a vital role in promoting social mobility and ensuring the education system is inclusive for everyone, regardless of background, ability, or pathway. 💡For this reason, certain organizations have decided to focus on the following points, which are vital to address the paradigm shift: - Generate a new digital culture - Guide with best practices from international experiences - Develop courses powered by innovative technologies - Target young people who are neither working nor studying 📖 The following article explores the changing work landscape and the increasing need for reskilling: https://lnkd.in/eg8qUYFv #MIC4VET #ErasmusPlus #Microcredentials #VET #EU Fondazione ENGIM | ENAIP NET | VUC Storstrøm | FONDO FORMACIÓN EUSKADI | Red Internacional B-Live | European Vocational Training Association - EVTA | University College Cork

As we enter International Education Week 2024 I am stepping back to reflect on some of the things that Abroadia has done. We recently concluded a COIL program between partners in Ohio and Argentina. What a wonderful experience! Below is a photo from our last session. If you would like to participate in a COIL program, let me know! #globalthougths #intled #intleducation #internationaleducation #studyabroad #educationabroad #globalconversations #COIL #IEW2024 #internationaleducationweek

🌍🔓 #Jointprogrammes present incredible learning opportunities for students, both inside and outside the classroom. But building degree programmes across different countries, cultures and legislative systems comes with its own challenges. What are some of the tools to unlock joint programmes for the benefit of our students? 💬 We were pleased to contribute to the conversation on the European Approach for Quality Assurance of #jointprogrammes yesterday at the EQAR - European Quality Assurance Register Members Dialogue. The European Approach for #qualityassurance aims to ease the external quality assurance process for joint programmes by defining common standards operating at European level, harmonising with national legislation without adding additional criteria. 🗣️ Our Senior Policy Officer Sophia Karner shared insights from the development and implementation of our Joint Bachelor's in European Studies, which is co-delivered by nine Una Europa universities. Sophia presented on the challenges of creating a joint programme across so many partners, each operating in their own distinct #highereducation system, and how the European Approach for Quality Assurance has acted as a facilitator for this transnational collaboration.

Our final fantastic #Iberiateacher groups in Sevilla and Lisboa. Two common themes from the trusty timeline evaluation sessions. 1. Relationships -Windows into student's lives. Improving skills through teaching in different settings, e.g. in a messy kid's room. Managers and teaching mentors - perhaps more important than in other fields of work. Challenge of changing schedules and differing organisational style of Sevilla and Lisboa. -Making friends with flatmates. Being respectful with flatmates, not making best friends but making friends elsewhere (perhaps as a result). The smaller Turing groups were harder than bigger Erasmus ones in this respect and next time we would probably have more social events or nudges organised. -Random nights out or trips and new friends or people who accompany us somehow in our lives whether for a few hours or a lifetime. 2. The power of experiences again Worth repeating that for any social programme, there is a funding requirement and aims requirement to control the experience in some way to 'maximise outcomes/value'. The tricky balance is allowing for life to provide experiences that may (or may not) be needed! Feeling bored, feeling anxious about language, not getting on, not having exactly the same experiences as others, having a broken heart or a twisted ankle. This hasn't always been perfect but we are again proud of the extent to which IberiaTeacher has provided support, structure and focus for participants whilst very much giving freedom and trust in them and in life to work it's magic. Less control - or hopefully less mindless and heartless control - means we are more likely to be awed by life and trust. 3. Perception It's amazing how perceptions of the same or very similar things can instantly change from group to group. This has been a challenge on what parts of the programme needed changing to improve and what was simply the (still valuable) perspective of one or two people. Some of that can be accounted for by who participants are, where they are coming from historically and geographically, time, place and the moment. The rest is down to perception and the eyes or channels of consciousness we choose to operate from. #teflteacher #tefl
