ERASMUS+ Faculty Development BIP – Nurturing 'seizmic' Change (20–24 April 2026, Copenhagen)

  • 1.  ERASMUS+ Faculty Development BIP – Nurturing 'seizmic' Change (20–24 April 2026, Copenhagen)

    Posted 5 hours ago

    The course is designed for colleagues teaching or researching in social entrepreneurship, sustainability innovation, or business modelling. Beyond the pedagogical content, one of our central ambitions is to build a sustained Erasmus+ community of educators in this space. The BIP is meant as a starting point for deeper collaboration and may well lead to future joint funding applications.

    Substantively, the week focuses on sharing teaching experiences.

    In particularly, we will have several colleagues share experiences about how they use the seizmic APP, a free online teaching tool develop with Erasmus+ funding. It supports faculty using experiential or challenge-based teaching formats where students develop social business models or sustainable innovation ideas.

    In the course we will also discuss what competencies such courses should hone how to align these with course learning objectives. The intention is to strengthen educators' capacity to scaffold such processes in a structured and competency-oriented way.

    A third component of the course is the use of GenAI mentors. Here you learn how to integrate customized GPT mentors into your teaching so that students receive structured feedback on the social or sustainable business models they develop in your course. The idea is not to replace supervision, but to complement it with formative, competency-based feedback that can scale across larger cohorts.

    Thanks to Erasmus funding participation in the course is free of charge. As this is an Erasmus+ BIP, you can also apply for staff mobility funding through your own Erasmus office to cover travel and subsistence.
