The topics covered at the seminar included the practical uses of AI by language teachers and learners, the integration of Design Thinking techniques into English learning, as well as discussions about available programmes, tools and the sharing of good practice. There was also time to discuss further joint international projects.
The seminar at the University Centre for Foreign Languages was organised as part of the second edition of the 'Copernican Integration Network' project implemented by Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń in cooperation with Ukrainian universities.
The COIN2 project received more than PLN 800 000 in funding from the National Agency for Academic Exchange in the 'Solidarity with Ukraine' programme addressed to Polish universities belonging to European University Alliances. As a member of the YUFE (Young Universities for the Future of Europe) alliance, the NCU allocated the support from NAWA to the realisation of tasks that will allow for the deepening of cooperation between YUFE universities and Ukrainian universities - the project envisages over 150 mobilities of their staff and participation in several international events organised at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.
Numerous faculties and units of our University were involved in the preparation of the events, resulting in a varied and extensive range of activities. Their culmination comes in September, October and November 2024.
