On September 29, the closing event of the Erasmus+ KA2 project 2024-1-RO01-KA220-HED-000249951 “Digitally-Enhanced Foreign Language Education for Active European Citizenship and Democratic Culture” took place in the Aula Magna of the George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of Târgu Mureș, Romania. Consortium partners from Romania, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Ukraine attended, together with teaching staff and students. The event was hosted by the project coordinator, Associate Professor Dana Rus. Sumy State University was represented in person by Associate Professor Olga Zhulavska from the Department of German Philology and Associate Professor Svitlana Tarasenko from the Department of International Economic Relations.
Participants reviewed the results of the consortium’s two years of work. The project set out to modernize foreign language teaching in higher education and to develop students’ competences for active European citizenship and democratic culture. The partners developed 50 digital learning units in English, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek and Ukrainian and updated more than 8 curricula. The flagship product is a В2-level English course of 10 interactive units that links language learning with citizenship and democratic values through digital breakout challenges. The learning activities are equivalent to 3 ECTS credits (75 hours).
The project resources remain openly available at www.enlaced.eu.
The project is being implemented in cooperation with the Departments of International Economic Relations, German Philology, and Journalism and Philology at Sumy State University.
