Study visit in Denmark
In October 2013 the COHAB team at University College Zealand, Denmark, welcomed students and lecturers from the German, Lithuanian and Swedish COHAB partners for a five days study visit in the southern region of Zealand. The students attended a number of classes focusing on ICT, culture and mobility, and as a part of the programme, the team also visited primary schools and vocational centres in order to gain insight into the Danish education system and differences and similarities between the Baltic countries. The last day of the study visit was spent in Copenhagen, where visits to the National Museum of Denmark and Christiansborg Palace represented the cultural and historic part of the study visit. All in all, the study visit proved very fruitful from both an academic and a social point of view.
COHAB summer school
In August 2013 twenty teacher training students and ten lecturers from the COHAB partner universities in Denmark, Germany, Lithuania and Sweden participated in a two weeks summer school in Klaipeda, Lithuania. The aim of the summer school was for the participants get to know one another and to start focusing on issues relevant to a virtual course, which students and lecturers will take part in in the autumn of 2013 and spring of 2014.
Among other things, the COHAB team visited cultural and historic sites in the Klaipeda region, such as Palanga Amber Museum, and the team also made a short trip to the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius. In addition to this, the programme was packed with lessons, assignments and lots of social activities to further collaboration and friendship between the partners.
