Enhancing the Social Characteristics and Public Responsibility of Israeli Teaching through a HEI-Student Alliance (ESPRIT)

This three-year project funded by the TEMPUS programme addresses university management and services for students, as well as equal and transparent access to higher education.

• Developing a model for the building of curricula with a social engagement component;
• Training specialists in the development of courses with a social engagement element;
• Implementing a pilot project on socially involved modules incorporating Bologna objectives (lifelong learning, student centred learning, ECTS, learning outcomes);
• Preparing a methodology for the building of a social benchmarking tool for higher education institutions;
• Implementing a social benchmark pilot in Israeli higher education institutions;
• Developing new modalities for the student-higher education institutional relationship;
• Introducing comprehensive quality measures accompanying the project from its onset and ensuring ongoing compliance with its objectives.
