SAP ‘Who are we? Mapping the identity of the RUN-EU-er’
Programme Description/Objective
Europe, as a region, is known for its cultural diversity and pluralism and RUN-EU, as part of that community, reflects this mosaic of cultures and languages.
The European Union and RUN-EU aim to foster common understanding, further development and trust among its members, which raises some challenges. This SAP will help prepare RUN-EU students for those challenges by addressing questions such as: What is this world of RUN-EU? How can I navigate through it? Who am I in it? Who is the RUN-EU-er? How can I study and work effectively in such a multicultural context?
This SAP aims to develop students’ intercultural skills to enable them to operate within several cultures at the same time. By promoting multiculturalism and multilingualism among the alliance regions, supported by student mobility, innovative pedagogies and blended learning activities, the programme also aims to contribute to societal needs and lifelong learning.
In this context, students will:
- explore their own culture and learn about other cultures
- characterise the ideal RUN-EU-er
- develop a critical cultural awareness of their immediate, regional, and global environments (eg RUN-EU)
- develop cross-communication skills when exchanging ideas with others from different backgrounds
- “taste” the languages of RUN-EU by participating in a language taster session.
