United in Diversity - Appreciating Europe and Understanding the European Union

forthcoming

This project aims to enhance students’ understanding of the European Union’s cultural, social, and political dimensions by integrating interdisciplinary courses and innovative teaching methods. Despite growing academic and economic ties between Taiwan and the EU, European studies remain underrepresented in Taiwanese higher education, particularly beyond language training. To bridge this gap, the project introduces two lecture-based courses, three workshops, and a thematic AI-collaborated exhibition, equipping students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills relevant to living, studying, and working in Europe. By incorporating AI-assisted learning tools, interactive workshops, and case studies, the project fosters critical thinking and cross-cultural competence. Additionally, it strengthens academic cooperation between Taiwan and European institutions, creating pathways for student exchanges and future collaborations. The project aligns with the objectives of the Work Program by promoting EU studies globally, fostering digital innovation in education, and contributing to a deeper understanding of European integration. Its outcomes, including open-access educational resources and digitalized learning materials, will ensure long-term impact and accessibility for students, educators, and policymakers alike.
