The learning experience is further enriched through guided discussions\, group dynamics\, and reflective exercises\, enabling participants to explore diverse cultural and professional perspectives within the alliance.\nThe programme includes practical activities that encourage the application of theoretical insights to real scenarios\, as well as mentoring moments where facilitators support critical reflection\, provide feedback\, and help participants connect the content of the training with their institutional responsibilities. In addition\, stakeholder engagement sessions—including visits to cultural or academic institutions in Madrid—allow participants to contextualise intercultural and ethical challenges within real organisational and societal environments.\nThe onsite week also incorporates cultural activities and local visits\, strengthening participants’ understanding of the regional context\, promoting intercultural awareness\, and fostering a cohesive learning community. By combining academic input\, experiential methodologies\, and community engagement\, the onsite sessions provide a comprehensive and transformative learning environment aligned with the pedagogical principles and values of the ACE²-EU Alliance.\n\n  \nSpecific learning objectives include: \nBy the end of the course\, staff members will be able to: \n\nDevelop staff competence in intercultural communication\, enabling effective interaction with students and colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds.\nIncrease awareness of partner cultures and alliance dynamics\, fostering mutual understanding and smoother collaboration across the nine universities.\nEnhance staff ability to support international students\, particularly those at risk of cultural exclusion\, by promoting inclusive practices and tailored support initiatives.\nEmpower staff to act as change agents within their institutions\, transferring acquired knowledge and practices to their departments and generating a multiplier effect.\nStrengthen institutional frameworks for internationalisation\, embedding inclusive approaches into everyday operations\, governance structures\, and student services.\nBuild a sustainable cross-institutional network\, where trained staff exchange experiences\, resources\, and innovations to advance intercultural learning.\nFoster reflective practice and leadership competences\, encouraging participants to design\, implement\, and evaluate initiatives aligned with the alliance’s mission and values.\n\n  \nWhich staff member would find this course useful for them? \nThis course may be suitable for staff members from ACE2-EU partner universities from WPs: WP2\, WP4 and WP6. \nRecommended Language Level : \nBasic to intermediate level of English (B1-B2)\, as the working language will be English \nApplication Process: \nEach university will nominate four staff members and send the list by 9 January 2026 to the following address: ace2eu@ufv.es \n  \nFurther Information \nFor any further information or queries related to the course\, please contact: ace2eu@ufv.es
