ended

EU-(TR)ADE is a university curriculum development project aiming to present the students of Istanbul Medipol University with an in depth analysis of the EU Green Deal, its effects on trade policies, and the relations between Turkey and the EU within the framework of the Green Deal. In order to achieve this goal, education and training activities will be carried out for three years, and the curriculum will be presented twice a year (14-week course per semester). In addition to the conventional way of lecturing format, innovative and participatory learning techniques, such as modeling and role-playing, will be conducted. The activities proposed under this Project are closely associated to the EU Work Program in ways; (i) to explore the importance of the EU as a global actor in international trade, (ii) to strengthen the dialogue between universities and industry, (iii) to provide a source of information for EU studies, and (iv) to disseminate the knowledge about the EU. The expected results of the project vary depending on the target groups. For example students will increase their professional knowledge, skills, and social competencies, while the university will have the opportunity to diversify its educational opportunities and develop international cooperation. At the end of the project, five outputs will be produced, including four evaluation reports and a tool-box. At the end of the three-year implementation period, a total of 200 students will benefit from the project.
