Teaching and Learning of European Studies" on 17-21st of June 2014
Administrative and Academic Staff of TSU Institute for European Studies
participated in visit to Free University of Brussels.
The second substantive WP of the INOTLES project, WP 3 focuses on training the participants in using several teaching methods they can apply to their European Studies curricula. The training is conducted through a Blended Learning approach, including a face-to-face training session in Brussels, followed by online group training, giving the participants the chance to work together with their peers over a period of five months deepening their understanding of a pedagogical method of their choice. The activities of this WP are informed by the results of the literature review and needs analysis conducted in WP2 and will themselves constitute the pedagogical foundation for the course development planned to take place in WP4. The training outcomes will be synthesised in a training handbook and presented during the wrap-up conference scheduled to take place in 2015 in Georgia.

- Maastricht University (UM), the Netherlands – the coordinator
