ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL WEEK with a focus on sustainability and sustainable development

Greetings from Denmark and ZEALAND Academy of Technologies and Business (ZEALAND) – DK KOGE03

It is our great pleasure to inform you that We/ZEALAND will host our first international week and invites all our International partners to join for a one-week event, from 22nd to 26th April 2024 hosted at ZEALAND, Denmark.

Join us for an intensive and inspiring International Week to co-create ideas and exchange best practices and experiences in the context of sustainability in education.

The theme for the international week is “Sustainability and Sustainable Development” and aims to provide a common ground and platform for best practices and identifying possible areas of mutual interest for future cooperation, projects and initiatives.
The intended outcome is to form a solid basis for how ZEALAND and partner institutions in cooperation can integrate and disseminate sustainability in higher education with a global/regional mindset.

TARGET GROUP:
The programme of the week will include two tracks designed for two unique target groups.

• An ACADEMIC TRACK for academic professionals and teaching faculty.
If you join for this track you participate in a combined mobility with a teaching and training component (workshops, seminars, knowledge sharing and “speed dating” events).
