EMERGE is proud to announce LitoÑoral, a new Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) jointly developed by Université Rennes 2 (France), Europa-Universität Flensburg (Germany) and Universidade da Coruña (Spain), and we’re now inviting partner universities to nominate students.
The programme brings together students from across the EMERGE Alliance to explore coastal resilience, the environmental, cultural and linguistic character of Europe’s coastlines, through an online preparatory phase followed by a five-day international mobility at Université Rennes 2’s Mazier Campus in Saint-Brieuc.
What makes LitoÑoral distinctive is that it is delivered entirely in Spanish, reflecting EMERGE’s commitment to multilingualism as a lived, practiced value rather than a principle on paper. Participants will develop their intercultural and plurilingual competences while collaborating in international teams to design original solutions to real challenges around regenerative coastlines.
