Building local employability through global interaction
BecomeGLOCAL
Our Purpose
The project addresses regional priority areas such as stimulating innovative learning and teaching practices, promoting a comprehensive approach to language teaching and learning, and promoting inter-connected higher education systems. Entrepreneurs and students will be engaged in co-designing courses along with lecturers from Latin American and European HEIs through facilitated critical dialogues. The goal is to promote employability and global interaction skills that coincide with local and global labour markets.
We Build Lasting Relationships
Between Students
& Businesses
BecomeGLOCAL aims to build capacities to modernise Internationalisation of the Curriculum by creating synergies amongst regional Higher Education Institutions in Latin America and Europe, specifically through partnerships with their local industries in order to develop employability and global interaction skills through glocal (global and local) challenges in the labour market.
