In September 2024, the U!Train will embark on its inaugural journey, a pioneering project by Unite! aimed at students. A group of 30 students from all partner universities will depart by train from UPC Barcelona to Grenoble INP-UGA. Throughout the journey, they will follow a course program consisting of extracurricular, academic, and integration activities.
Participation in the course is credited (3 ECTS points) and includes involvement in virtual sessions before and after the U!Train journey. The two most popular course themes identified by students in a survey are “ecological travel” and “multiculturalism.”
The course design is still ongoing, and organizers seek the assistance of students from Wrocław University of Science and Technology. You are invited to participate in the U!Train Ideathon, where you can contribute to designing extracurricular activities tailored to individual needs for the U!Train course.
Ideathon is an event where participants gather virtually to brainstorm, develop, and present ideas or solutions for specific challenges or problems.
Over five consecutive evenings, registered Ideathon participants will work on innovative and creative ideas for the extracurricular segment of the U!Train course. The scope of ideas is broad, ranging from team-building activities to creatively solving problems.
Participating in Ideathon is a fantastic opportunity to expand your international network by collaborating with students from the other eight universities in the Unite! network. Together, you will play a key role in shaping the course, with a particular emphasis on extracurricular aspects.
Be in the winning team!
Ideas from the winning team will be implemented, meaning they will be incorporated into the U!Train course program. Additionally, if you are still a student in 2024 and decide to participate in the course, your involvement in Ideathon will earn you “extra points,” giving you a chance to secure a spot on the train!
Udział w Ideathon to fantastyczna okazja, aby poszerzyć swoje międzynarodowe kontakty dzięki współpracy ze studentami z pozostałych ośmiu uczelni w sieci Unite! Razem odegracie kluczową rolę w kształtowaniu kursu, ze szczególnym naciskiem na pozaakademickie aspekty.
