The present project is ERASMUS +, Strategic associations in the field of higher education (K203),
aims to provide an intervention model adjusted to the challenges facing the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
This model will be elaborated from an integral vision of higher education, aimed to improve the induction, follow-up, retention
and academic success of Chinese students in European universities under the paradigm of the social inclusion.
The development of the project is expected to:
To achieve this objective and the expected results, we will start from the knowledge of the
context of action (external and internal policies, characterisation of the EHEA and the
specificity of each of the partner universities, the Chinese educational system,
Chinese students and the other agents involved), and the knowledge of good practices,
shortcomings, obstacles and opportunities identified in studies prior to
the project (induction plans, mentoring actions, administrative and teaching support, etc.).
During the development of the project, it is proposed to build a common European theoretical,
practical and conceptual framework around the induction, follow-up, retention and academic
success of students from Chinese speaking countries who are studying at European universities.
This common frame of reference will serve as the basis for the shared design (which does not mean unified) of a specific guiding model that will include:of a specific guiding model that will include:
This designed model will be implemented so it will be necessary to create a specific action plan
for each of the partner universities for the execution and evaluation of the same during the
project. The evaluation will take into account the effectiveness and suggestions generated
during the development, the detection of needs and progress, the implementation of
self-observation and review mechanisms, feedback and self-regulation. Finally, it is expected to
verify the relevance and impact of the project by making an integral review, detecting pitfalls
and looking for alternatives. We will endeavor to secure the continuity and permanence over time
, planning that any improvement is maintained, promoting the institutionalization of the model
and its incorporation into the culture of partner universities.
The objectives defined on the Intellectual Outputs to the Project SIAS CHINA-EU are:
The organisation of multiplier events will allow the dissemination of the results between the European university community and other educational institutions of different levels where the model could be applied. These events aim to share and disseminate the experience in face-to-face debate and online environments that broaden horizons.
IO1 is aimed at Chinese students who want to further their education at European universities. The main objectives of this intellectual product are:
This material also includes transversal objectives from the other intellectual products.
IO2 is aimed at local students and non-Chinese International students. The main objectives of this intellectual product are:
This learning material focuses on monitoring academic performance and permanence in EU Universities.
IO3 is aimed at teaching staff from Consortium’s universities that host Chinese overseas students. It is also applicable to academic staff belonging to other universities and to teaching staff dealing with overseas students from countries other than China. The main objectives of this intellectual product are:
Cross-cultural awareness is one of the most productive and essential aspect for the practical development of internationalization within the framework of a global inclusive education and the promotion of academic success among Chinese students.
IO4 is aimed to administration and service personnel from Consortium’s universities. It will be applicable to other EU universities as well. The main objectives of this intellectual product are:
The material will analyze all stages related to recruitment, pastoral care, monitoring and post-academic prospects of Chinese studying at EU universities.
IO5 will be the normative model for SIAS China-EU initiatives. It will contain all the analyzed strategies and provide resources for their development. It will also contain guidelines about how and when to implement them. It will act as an institutional guide open to further customization by faculties and departments. It will also be a good complement to the Tutorial Action Plan developed. It will include key ideas and good practices, a SIAS China-EU global map linking all the actions. The contents organised in modules that EU universities or any other institution should be able to use and adapt totally or partially. A rational and detailed explanation of all resources will be included as well as some guidelines for its implementation outside the Consortium's context. An infographic summary will be produced.
The aims of this workshop are to introduce the project to a Chinese audience; to present our findings, finals results and intellectual outputs translated into Chinese and to show possible ways to use the intellectual outputs of the project For this event, our target groups will be Chinese University teachers, Chinese High School teachers, Chinese Study Abroad agencies, European and Chinese authorities whose work is related to Chinese Students wishing to continue their education in Europe, Chinese Students, Teachers from language centers whose main activity is to help students to achieve the language level required to obtain the visa to go to Europe.
Seminars aimed to publicize the results of the SIAS China-EU project at local and national level (Spain). This event aims to introduce and explain all the stages of the SIAS China-EU project and its results to all target groups to create synergies. The relevance of this event is to give value to cultural sensitivity and emotional wellbeing as functional keys to understand and apply academic, cultural and recreation programmes that help to improve coexistence in training and educational spaces. A coexistence that needs to increase intercultural relations and intercultural connections as an educational value for quality of life and educational and community well-being becomes visible.
