We just launched a two-year project MILEAGE: Mentorship development for quality practices in higher education, approved in Erasmus+ KA2 programme call. Consortium is constituted by six partners from three countries, among them three NGOs and three universities, since the content of the project is strongly related also to the collaborations of higher education sector and the non-governmental sector. Partners from Italy are a non-governmental organization CESIE and UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI PALERMO, partners from Finland are RAUHANKASVATUSINSTITUUTTI RY INSTITUTET FOR FREDSFOSTRAN RF (Peace Education Institute) and university OULUN YLIOPISTO, Slovenian partners are a non-governmental organization KULTURNO IZOBRAŽEVALNO DRUSTVO PINA and UNIVERZA V LJUBLANI as a project coordinator.

With the knowledge we gained from surveys and interviews, from a review of existing training offerings, and with the help of our international knowledge and experience, we have designed a one-day experiential conference with modular workshops that address under-covered but highly topical themes in the area of citizenship. We will be assisted by top national and international experts. It will take place on Tuesday, 23 April 2024. Participation is free of charge and you will be issued with a certificate of attendance suitable for promotion to a degree. The conference will be rounded off with a plenary lecture and a panel discussion of different stakeholders in civic education. The workshops will be conducted for a group of 10-15 participants, which will ensure good communication and your participation, as the workshops are very practical oriented.

We are thrilled to announce the release of the eWBL (electronic work-based learning) Framework, available for download in both its original report format targeting practitioners and a version tailored for the academic audience, published as an open-source article in the "Studies in Higher Education" journal.

In the framework of the project 'PLACEDU - A Digital Social Space for the Next Normal Education' (Project No.: 2021-1-LT01-KA220-HED-000023512), Associate Prof. Dr. Marko Radovan conducted a training on teaching and learning at a distance on 14 November 2023. The training was aimed at students and educators in order to support their efforts to create an inclusive community in the digital space.
