This is the first intensive blended program of its kind for students. The selected group of students will have the opportunity to gain additional knowledge and experience and to discover the charms of international train travel. Everyone will meet on September 1st at the UPC campus in Barcelona. During the journey to Grenoble INP-UGA, they will participate in specially prepared extracurricular activities. On-site, in addition to integration activities, they will have additional academic work. However, the course will start even before the trip, thanks to online sessions that will equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to participate in the program.
Throughout the program, participants will delve into the topics of green mobility and intercultural competencies through a combination of online learning, lectures, and practical exercises. Led by experienced lecturers and invited speakers, this program offers a unique opportunity to acquire practical skills and interdisciplinary knowledge about sustainable mobility, while also supporting a deeper understanding of different cultures.
Experts will lead discussions on topics such as urban mobility options, sustainable transportation systems and innovations, corporate social responsibility, and cultural diversity. Through engaging workshops and interactive sessions, participants will enrich their knowledge of these key issues. In addition to academic modules, participants will also take part in mapathon sessions, sharing their experiences with train mobility across Europe and gaining practical insights into traveling around Europe.
Participants will also have unique cultural experiences, including guided tours, outdoor activities, and visits to local attractions, from exploring the lively streets of Barcelona to the mountains of Grenoble.
