IIn Nitra at FF, as the organizing organization, our colleagues met with colleagues from the Polish Adam Mickiewicz University and the Czech University of Hradec Králové thanks to the joint Erasmus+ SSHTeaching21+ project.

On September 11 - 13, 9 academics and one PhD student from the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Hradec Králové participated in a three-day activity in which they were joined by the same amount of colleagues from Adam Mickiewicz University (Poland) and the hosting Constantine the Philosopher University (Slovakia). The reason behind this meeting is the Eramus+ cooperative partnership project with the abbreviated name SSHTeaching21+, in which all three institutions are partners. This three-year project aims to improve the teaching of social sciences and humanities at universities, which it seeks to achieve, among other things, through a teaching handbook and e-learning dedicated to university teachers.

Apart from creating the project results, the project also includes several activities. One of the planned events within the project was also this Learning Teaching Training Activity, which was previously held last year by our colleagues from AMU.

The main difference was that while in Poznań, presentations and workshops were focused on sociological research (Project result 1), this time, the main aim was the background and methodology of teaching social sciences at the universities (related to Project results 2 and 3). Outside of the halls of the CPU, all 30 participants also had the opportunity to participate in a networking leisure program that allowed the participants to get to know Nitra and its surroundings.

In addition to the meeting of colleagues from the participating universities, a dissemination event called the Multiplier event took place in Nitra, which aimed not only to spread awareness of the project but, above all, to pass on the information found during the work on the outputs so far. The event, called Workshop on Intercultural Skills, was open to both physical and virtual attendance to all those focusing on or directly pursuing education at universities. During the project meeting at the end of the stay in Nitra, the project team also had the chance to discuss the current status of individual outputs and the final round of activities that are scheduled for May 2024 in Hradec Králové.
