Training week at the University of Radboud

Within the framework of Erasmus + HG1 international credit mobility program Mariam Movsisyan, Vice-Rector International Relations and Educational Reforms and Zarine Poghosyan, Senior Expert of the  International Relations Department, participated in an International Staff Training Week at Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands on June 20-24, 2022. The international week featured guests from 21 different countries.

The University of Radboud was introduced on the first day of the course, and then the participants had a chance to get to know one another and share information about their respective institutions. Subsequent sessions discussed topics like sustainability, student welfare, and engaging international alumni. They focused primarily on the subject of sustainability at a special session. No matter what course of study a student chooses, this topic is a required component of their education at Radboud. The welfare of the students is crucial. The guiding principle of Radboud University was “the right student in the right place”, սօ the entire staff make all efforts to help the student feel at home. The university was also responsible for looking after the student’s mental health.

Additionally, a presentation on “Engagement with Society” was given. Radboud University brought together its residents, regional communities, local partners, experts in various fields, as well as the staff of the municipality, to work together to find a common approach to solving the problems of modern society. This was done in order to have a healthy society.

The seminar on “Blended mobility in Erasmus +” was also worthwhile. An overview of the Dutch National Agency and the Erasmus + program was given at the outset. It was indicated that soon, blended learning opportunities through Erasmus+ would be investigated. These chances would include studies, internships, and blended intensive programs. All of the sessions were interactive, giving the participants the chance to talk on the subjects being covered.

The Radboud University’s International Staff Training Week was incredibly interesting, instructive and successful.
