About the Concluding Conference

Are you looking for an opportunity to learn more about teacher education systems across Europe and get in touch with students from four different countries? If your answer to that question is a "yes", we have an attractive offer for you:

The project Partners in Mobility invites you to participate in our Concluding Conference on "Teaching across Europe" from October 9th-11th, 2024. The workshop will take place on the campus of Europa-Universität Flensburg (Germany). Together with students and staff from University College South Denmark, Linköping University (Sweden), Jyväskylä University (Finland), Eötvös Loránd University (Hungary), and Europa-Universität Flensburg we will look at the topic "Teaching across Europa" from different perspectives.

Our highlight will be school visits to German schools to give you an insight into the German school system.

This workshop will provide the opportunity to interact with international students and build new friendships across Europe and allow you to experience student life in Flensburg at Flensburg's picturesque harbor and the nearby beaches. You can find a list with the preliminary schedule for the week here. Keep in mind that it is subject to change, though.

Financials

We are able to support two students from each of our partner universities with lump sums for travelling and daily allowances. We will also provide some meals during the event.

  • Lump sum for stay: 89 euros/ day  
  • Lump sum for travel expenses:
    • participants of UC Syd, LiU and ELTE: 225 euros/ person
    • JYU: 325 euros/ person

Housing

We will try our best to accommodate the incoming students in apartments of EUF students. However, we cannot guarantee enough places until now. There is also always the opportunity to stay in a hotel/ Hostel in case there are not enough places to stay with EUF students. Accommodation costs have to be paid from the lump sum.
