Project
IN-WORK - Inclusive communities at work
Project sponsors
The project develops inclusive and work-integrated learning in higher education institutions. It is focusing on the students who need special support in their studies and will improve the study and employment opportunities of these students. The project will plan and implement pilot training for higher education teachers and staff to strengthen their ability to take into account the opportunities offered by working life in learning and in guiding students into working life. At the same time, the role of higher education as a bearer of social responsibility and a regional developer will be developed. The project partners are Universita Degli Studi D Macerata from Italy (coordinator), Universitat Rovira I Virgili from Spain, European Universities Contunuing Education Network from Belgium and Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences from Finland.
