The IPCB and its Erasmus+ mobility initiatives at the Lumière University Lyon2
Academic mobility has become a key priority for many higher education institutions around the world. The Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco (IPCB) stands out in this scenario by establishing significant partnerships with renowned institutions, such as the Lumière University Lyon2, thus contributing to the enrichment of international education. Recently, two IPCB employees participated in an Erasmus+ mobility in France, an enriching experience that demonstrates the value of cultural exchange and global academic collaboration. Mobility experience at the Lumière University Lyon2 IPCB employees Paula Maria Trindade Ribeiro and Sandra Tomás Rodrigues had the opportunity to experience the culture and pedagogical innovations of the Lumière University Lyon2 during a training week dedicated to employees of partner institutions involved in the BAUHAUS4EU consortium. Discover the innovative Erasmus+ mobility initiatives of the IPCB at the Lumière Lyon University2, promoting cultural exchange and unique learning opportunities for students. The mobility, divided into two phases, included a virtual component and a physical component. The first phase took place between 6 and 26 February, enabling the development of intercultural skills through the Moodle platform. During this period, participants discussed topics such as translation and intercomprehension strategies in a collaborative virtual environment. This approach provided a solid foundation for the next face-to-face meeting.Virtual phase: Building intercultural bridges During this phase, participants were able to explore a range of topics that broadened their view of cultural diversity and the importance of communicating effectively in an international environment. Among the topics covered, the following stand out: Translation and its relevance in intercultural communication.
Teaching strategies adapted to different cultures.
Practical exercises for mutual understanding. Physical phase: Interaction and discovery Two days of in-person activities, from March 3 to 7, were dedicated to direct contact and strengthening ties between employees. This phase not only allowed for the building of valuable professional relationships, but also an immersion in the innovative educational practices of the Lumière University Lyon2 and the Bauhaus Universität Weimar.
The lessons learned during this experience will be fundamental for the future development of new mobility programs at the IPCB, expanding opportunities for global learning for students and employees. Phase
