Collaboration
Inspired by the EMEU concept, Graafschap College (The Netherlands) and Tullamore LOETB (Ireland) have started their own project. A group of students from Graafschap College and Tullamore LOETB are currently working together on an online project on ‘Teamwork.’
Each week the students have a meeting and work together on several assignments. In February 2021 they will submit a training video on teamwork for a fictional company. Feedback from all students has been positive. They enjoy the challenge and feel the collaboration adds to their learning process.
What the colleges have found the most useful about using the EMEU concept is that the projects are integrated in the teaching programme, making them a long-term part of the curriculum.
