Pedagogical contribution of the course to the program
No educational contribution associated with this course for this program.Description
The course deals with the milestones of the European integration process, from the aftermath of WW2 up to the enlargement in 2004-2007, bringing together and confronting different historical and cultural perspectives. The aim of this course is to make students reflect upon the reasons and consequences of the diversity of those perspectives across the European continent, by sharing their views and learning from each other in the frame of a virtual exchange. Students will learn more than just from their national perspective; and they will have the opportunity to co-create the content of the course by sharing their experience and by working in international teams. This course, based on experiential learning, is engaging, interactive, and student-centred: students verbally and visually exchange opinions working in small international teams in asynchronous sessions, and altogether during synchronous sessions. The course is taught together with Dr. Lucyna BLAZEJCZYK-MAJKA, associate professor at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland) and is part of the EPICUR campus course catalogue (https://epicur.education/fr/).Teaching methods
