IN.TUNE at the AEC Conference: learning and collaborating beyond borders

On 3 September, the IN.TUNE European University Alliance was present in Trento at the AEC Conference for International Relations Coordinators (IRCs), showcasing the new educational formats developed within the alliance. 

How can we give students more opportunities to gain international experience without necessarily spending an entire semester abroad? This is one of the key questions behind the 16 joint educational formats developed by IN.TUNE partner institutions.  

Two sessions dedicated to these joint educational offers provided an opportunity to present these new approaches and share the first experiences of their implementation. They were led by Sara Belfiore, IN.TUNE Institutional Alliance Manager at the Conservatoire de Paris, and moderated by Ivana Mijanovic from the IN.TUNE University Alliance.  

Joint online courses, shared modules, collaborative projects… These new approaches enable students and teachers from different countries to learn and work together, both online and in person, enriching their international experience along the way.  

The sessions also addressed the practical aspects of developing these collaborations, including coordination between institutions, educational organisation, logistics and administrative matters.  

The goal? To go beyond traditional mobility and create more opportunities for students to experience international collaboration as part of their everyday learning journey.
