The purpose of this project is to develop the global competencies of the newest generation of EU and Korean learners by providing meaningful opportunities for intercultural engagement. As a means of achieving this, the proposed program will focus on the two core fields of Multi-culture and Education and will operate through coordinated student (30 EU/ 30 Korea) and faculty (6 EU/ 9 Korea) exchanges between three European (University of Tübingen, INALCO[Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales], University of Leiden) and three Korean institutions (Seoul National University, Sookmyung Women's University, Chonbuk National University) during a three year contract period. Students of the consortia universities in Europe will perform their studies and research in Korean universities for a period of greater than 4 months according to jointly created curricula and a newly developed practicum. Faculty and teaching staff will conduct regular workshops for the cooperation program. The students and faculty members of the Korean consortia institutions will be given the same opportunities to study and conduct research in their European partner institutions. Both parties in the EU and Korea will strive toward creating joint degree programs in relevant fields in the future.
