Activities of EMPOWER
EMPOWER supports universities on a European level by sharing expertise: How to become part of this?
1. EMPOWER on-site
Work closely together with invited experts on-site in direct relation with the institutional challenges on introducing and /or optimising new modes of teaching.
EMPOWER is offering on-site collaboration between EMPOWER experts and the hosting universities. These universities want to accelerate the adoption of new modes of teaching and learning by sessions on-site within the direct context of the university. All to be organised in cooperation with the institutional coordinator and in direct relation to the identified needs of expertise. The institutional needs for expertise are identified in an institutional profiling exercise organised by EADTU. The programme of each on-site visit is therefore tailor-made in accordance with the priorities based on a dialogue with relevant experts.
”The EMPOWER experts who came to our university last year gave us inspirational workshops. They made us realise the importance of a good pedagogical framework. With these new tools and insights we were excited to start a participatory process.”
