Multiplier Event CONNECT-UNITA

On January 30th, professors, researchers, educational engineers, and administrative staff gathered at Université Savoie Mont Blanc for an afternoon of discussions on the challenges of international collaboration, learning activities, and innovative teaching approaches.

This hybrid event aimed to showcase the final outcome of the Constellation project, hashtagConnect-UNITA.


What is Connect-UNITA about?
It is a collaborative platform and methodology designed to foster innovation in teaching and learning. The goal is not only to enhance knowledge and skill acquisition but also to break down barriers of geographical, linguistic, temporal, and social distance, promoting inclusion and international cooperation.

Agenda highlights:
Presentation of the hashtagConnect-UNITA project and its Time-Spatial-Linguistic Teaching and Learning Travel Machine.

Insights into different applications of this travel machine in higher education and its benefits in an international teaching context.
 Experience sharing on internationalization of teaching at USMB.
Exploring the integration of generative AI in higher education: current practices and future perspectives in an international learning environment.

A huge thank you to all the speakers (Amy Church-MorelAnne-Sophie Nardelli MalgrandAdrien BadelVincent COUTURIERYannick Vidal) and participants for their inspiring and innovative contributions. Together, we are shaping the future of education, making it more interdisciplinary and collaborative!

Special thanks to the hashtag UNITA USMB office (Pauline Jousseaume and lucie CONTAT) for logistics and communication, to the project leader UPPA, and to our UNITA partner institutions: UVT, TORINO, UNIZAR, and UBI.


A big shoutout to Aurélie Falconnet, the software engineer, Sorana Cîmpan, the project coordinator at USMB, and Noelia Chambaz, UNITA educational engineer, for their outstanding work in organizing this event.
