UP organises Aurora BIP on How to increase the Social impact of Teaching by using LOUIS Competencies

UP is organising its first Aurora Blended Intensive Programme entitled How to Increase the Social Impact of Your Teaching: Using the LOUIS Competence Framework to Improve Your Course. This BIP is organised by Maxim Tomoszek at the Faculty of Law with the support of the Aurora education developer, Markéta Šemberová. Maxim Tomoszek leads the Aurora 2030 programme’s LOUIS component.

LOUIS is a tool that supports academic teachers in articulating learning outcomes for general academic and personal competencies. You can read more about the LOUIS tool by clicking here.

This BIP aims not only to strengthen the pedagogical competencies of the participants but also to create a community of trained professionals who can disseminate the knowledge from the workshop at their home institutions. It will consist of two virtual components (October 18 and November 18) and physical participation (November 4–8, 2024).

A maximum of 20 participants have been enrolled for the BIP, coming from 6 countries (Netherlands, Iceland, Austria, Spain, Italy, Ukraine) joining together Aurora educational developers, academics and Lifelong learning experts, and Euridice project educational staff and Microcredential board members. There will be also participants from Portugal and the USA (Minnesota) connected to the BIP online for the whole duration.
