ENGAGE.EU Work Integrated Learning Program

Program overview

Are you interested in lifelong learning, want to act socially engaged, and bring about change in your organization? Our Work Integrated Learning Program enables practitioners to learn about and develop innovative and feasible solutions to resolve societal challenges. It is possible to earn micro-credentials, learn and apply design thinking, participate in Labs and Spaces, go on bootcamps, and eventual embed the program into your master theses.

The program consists of individual modules in the form of short courses developed and delivered by one or more ENGAGE.EU partner universities. These modules are pilots to implement and test the program. Each pilot has a specific format and includes a variety of activities that are organized around two main types of phases:

1. Input phase: online courses (combining synchronous and asynchronous components) that provide participants with relevant knowledge, tools, and methods to tackle societal challenges.

2. Implementation phase: in-person bootcamps taking place as workshops at the campuses of our partner institutions, where participants apply the knowledge, tools, and methods delivered in the input phase to collaboratively address real-life societal challenges sponsored by ENGAGE.EU stakeholders (e.g., not-for-profit or non-governmental organization, municipalities or cities, industry clusters).

Pilot modules

All pilots will start in the fall semester 2022.
