Representatives of all project partners - University of Algarve (Portugal), University of Groningen (Netherlands), SumFuo (France) and Team Coaching (Poland) came to Łódź. On behalf of TUL, the work of the consortium is coordinated by the Director of the ICC - dr inż. Dorota Piotrowska, university professor, who emphasizes the importance of the project for the further development of the university:
“This is the second project of this type implemented at the ICC. We are glad that we will be able to use our experience and good practices as part of the next Erasmus+ initiative. The topic of emotional intelligence is very important to us. It allows us not only to skilfully deal with the stress of everyday life, but also to better understand ourselves and others. We would like to implement solutions that will shape these skills among students and employees. Our main goal is to combat discrimination and promote equality in European universities”.
The participants discussed the assumptions of the project, planned activities to be implemented in the near future and established the principles of cooperation. The meeting was an excellent opportunity to get to know each other and integrate the team, which until now communicated only online.
The consortium will jointly develop the EQUNI game with a mobile application, a procedure and online tools for granting micro-credentials, and a guide for universities in implementing good practices.
EQUNI is aimed at students, academic teachers, trainers, mentors, psychologists and advisors, university authorities and managers responsible for developing and implementing anti-discrimination policy.
The project will include a series of trainings, workshops and summer schools for target groups.
The project is co-financed by the Erasmus+ Program within Action 2. Cooperation among organisations and institutions.
ICC obtained funding for its implementation in the amount of EUR 400,000.
