Activity 2: Develop the Blended Training Programme
During this activity the partnering organisations developed the digital blended learning programme ‘Inclusion and Diversity’ while taking into consideration the analysis from Activity 1.
A public training session was conducted during this activity, and after its completion, participants’ feedback and suggestions were collected, analysed and taken into account.
However, representatives of the consortium delivered training and here you can find the finalised version of our program.
In addition to the achieved project outcomes and being influenced by the training sessions, students from the XU Exponential University of Applied Sciences in Germany have produced a series of training videos focusing on the following 5 topics. Each video addresses distinct objectives by providing answers to the question “How to…”:

Seamless Transition from High School to XU University: This video provides insights and advice for freshman students, aiding them in adjusting their schedules and routines to align with the new requirements and expectations of university life.
