About MICEP

To facilitate the transfer of academic knowledge of students in education and social interventions into skills and competences needed in the labour market. There is need to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This will be achieved through developing and implementing outputs that facilitate blended learning as well as interactive and cooperative learning.

To valorise pedagogical innovations in the field of interculturality. A good number of educative/social inclusion projects have developed relevant and innovative pedagogies based on the intercultural approach. They are not always properly disseminated to a larger audience. We intend to make a collection of such methods to value them, ensure that more people learn from good practices/past experiences.

To integrate an intercultural approach into educational and social intervention projects. Beyond knowledge, concept and ideas on interculturality, it is necessary to empower students with the capacity to address diversity in all projects on the field; from needs assessment, to the delivery and evaluation, through project construction and preparation. We lean on the approach of project based learning (PBL) where active exploration of real-world challenges and problems is used as an instrument to promote a more student-centred learning approach and by the way to promote better links between higher education and labour market needs.

To develop ICT based learning tools that enhance the sharing and collaborative development of practices in educational projects. Advantage is taken of ICTs to support social engagement and social entrepreneurship and promote intercultural and civic competences of students. ICT here are key instruments for sharing, innovating and learning across borders.
