The
College is an environment of diversity.
We have teachers with all kinds of professional backgrounds and
experience and we work with adults of all ages and from more than
20 different cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
Therefore it has always been a fundamental policy to be open to
all kinds of transnational cooperation and involvement. We try to
see the College as a part of different transnational communities
and as an integrated part of the European Union.
We would like to develope new educational possibilities for all
kinds of adults and young adults in close cooperation with institutions
and partners from many different countries and cultures.
Furthermore we wish to involve as many people in the College as
possible in the transnational activities: the transnational cooperation
must involve not only project managers, but teachers and learners.
Therefore many of our teachers are deeply involved in European cooperation
and it is a high priority to establish mobility and exchange activities
for our learners.
The Social and Health College has always been very active on the
international scene. Study visits, international partners and mobility
activities has been a natural part of the everyday learning community.
But since the start of the new millenium the international activities
has been given still more priority.
Due to the ethnical diversity of the students and to the European
focus on social and health issues it is only natural, that the college
is becomming still more involved in transnational cooperation.
The College is involved in all kinds of international activities,
but two areas can be identified as the most important: European
counselling and European project cooperation.
The College acts as counsellor for several social and health development
projects in the Eastern European countries and in Russia.
This counselling covers issues of developing social services systems
as well as developing social and health educations.
The European project cooperation takes place within the large EU
educational programmes, Grundtvig and Leonardo, and within the European
Social Fund.
The College is the promoter and coordinator of several European
cooperation projects.
The College has a very large European network of partners and is
very active in the establisment and maintainance of a strong strategical
network, based on the principles and mission of the EU Lifelong
Learning strategy. |
