March 31 to April 4. More than 40 representatives from 21 countries took part in the events.
The Transylvania University of Brasov is the largest higher education institution in central Romania (18 faculties). It has over 20,000 students studying in the fields of forestry, engineering, economics, medicine and art.
The main goal of the events was to promote cultural diversity as an important element in the higher education system, which will make universities more attractive for study and prepare students for «global citizenship.»
The participants exchanged experiences and shared best practices in cultural training of students and staff within the framework of Erasmus+ mobility, and discussed administrative aspects of international cooperation. The program also included interactive workshops on intercultural communication and emotional intelligence, meetings with representatives of the university community, and excursions to cultural attractions, including Bran Castle.
The events are organized within the UNITA alliance, which unites 12 universities from 7 countries, whose joint activities are aimed at developing the European educational space and supporting border and mountain regions.
We strengthen international ties, promote the development of academic mobility!
