Faculty of Education and Psychology promotes the first international week

The Faculty of Education and Psychology (FEP) of Porto Regional Centre, of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, is organizing from March 28th to April 1st, its first international week under the topic: "Thriving Global Academic Cultures". It aims to promote and reflect on internationalization as a central element of the school's agenda.

21 faculty members and researchers from European and American universities, along with Portuguese faculty and researchers, will discuss topics such as the promotion of attitudes associated with global citizenship, the importance of intercultural competencies, and various other issues related to building an international community.

The organization of FEP International Week is based on the faculty's commitment to integrating an international and intercultural mindset that goes beyond the boundaries of the university campus and has the potential to mutually benefit all stakeholders and partner institutions to enable them to act in an interconnected global community.

The event will discuss the abundance of challenges that internationalization encompasses, as well as all its complexities and demands: international curriculum development; the development of new academic consortia, networking, bilateral and multilateral activities; innovation processes in teaching and learning; collaboration in teaching and research; exchange and training of students and faculty; among others. In addition to the sessions promoted, the program also includes a day off for a visit to the city of Porto.
