DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Natália Vašková\, Daniela Hadačová (Technical U
 niversity in Košice)\n\n\n\nAbout this Programme\nInternationalisation is
  no longer an optional addition to university teaching - it is an essentia
 l part of modern higher education. But how can lecturers create meaningful
  international learning experiences without requiring students to travel a
 broad?\nJoin the Collaborative Teaching Workshop Series\, organised by the
  Technical University of Košice (TUKE)\, Slovakia\, and discover innovati
 ve approaches to internationalising your teaching through Collaborative On
 line International Learning (COIL)\, Virtual Exchange (VE)\, and Blended I
 ntensive Programmes (BIPs).\nOrganised as part of the Global Mindset @ TUK
 E initiative\, this professional development programme supports TUKE´s co
 mmitment to strengthening internationalisation at home and expanding oppor
 tunities for collaborative teaching across Ulysseus.\nThe programme consis
 ts of two complementary events:\n\nOnline Workshop (3-17-24 September 2026
 ) – an interactive introduction to the principles and practice of COIL\,
  Virtual Exchange\, and Blended Intensive Programmes.Participants will exp
 lore how these approaches can enrich their courses\, foster intercultural 
 learning\, and build international partnerships without requiring physical
  mobility.\nOn-site Workshop (1-2 October 2026\, TUKE Campus\, Slovakia) 
 – a hands-on\, practice-oriented workshop where participants will explor
 e practical approaches to internationally oriented teaching and put the pr
 inciples of COIL into practice. Through interactive sessions\, participant
 s will discover inclusive and engaging EMI practices\, review and enhance 
 their own teaching materials\, and collaborate with colleagues to design c
 ollaborative projects that can be implemented in their own teaching.\n\nBo
 th workshops will be led by an internationally recognised expert in Virtu
 al Exchange\, COIL\, and educational innovation\, who also serves as a Ful
 l Professor of English Studies.\n\n\nThe workshops are also intended for p
 articipants from Ulysseus partner institutions who aim to develop and laun
 ch their COIL projects under the Ulysseus Seed Fund Call 2026.\n\nWhy joi
 n the Programme?\nThe September workshop provides the ideal starting point
  for lecturers interested in internationalising their teaching. Through pr
 actical examples\, discussions\, and interactive activities\, participants
  will gain a solid understanding of collaborative international teaching m
 odels and learn how to apply them in their own educational context.\nThe O
 ctober workshop is designed for participants who are ready to turn ideas i
 nto practice. Through collaborative course design\, peer exchange\, and ha
 nds-on activities\, participants will develop COIL/Virtual Exchange concep
 ts\, enhance their internationally oriented teaching practices\, and leave
  with concrete plans and resources ready to implement in their own courses
