The short-term joint staff training event module 2 will be hosted by University of Aveiro, Portugal.

The Joint Multidisciplinary Training Scheme is the output type:  course / curriculum – Training scheme, and will ensure the creation of a new joint study programme guide.

The guide will point out in detail the level of knowledge, skills and competencies, the profile of these to ensure an operative content, i.e. the structure of the new study programme. The guide will, in detail, plan the structure and organisation of the modules and programme elements that will provide the students with professional skills within a fixed frame specified in ECTS credits. The study programme guide is based on an academic, problem-orientated and multidisciplinary approach based on work and evaluation methods that combine skills and reflection containing:

  • lectures
  • classroom instruction
  • project work
  • workshops
  • exercises (individually and in groups)
  • teacher feedback
  • reflection
  • portfolio work

The CRAFT project will focus on honing the skills of students on a foundation of close links

between innovation, research and education – the three sides of the ‘knowledge triangle’.  

By generating innovative practices built on shared cultural heritage, CRAFT will rethink education and by this support the development of student skills much in demand by labour markets, and will have a high impact on changing the education systems which will need to adapt over the next decade.
