AURORA

CIRTL and the School of Education are delighted to partner in the Erasmus+ KA2 Capacity Building project AURORA. AURORA stands for “Alliance of Universities to Reinforce teacher training curricula to Outcast Radicalism and promote equality in Asian societies”. This project aims to combat radicalism and promote equality through curriculum reform in Indian and Nepalese universities.

To this end, UCC together with three other European universities (University of Malaga, Masaryk University and Babes-Bolyai University), have designed training modules on inclusive education, equality and radicalism, with subsequent delivery in 8 universities in India and Nepal.

In addition to the development of teacher training programmes at Bachelor’s and Master’s level, the project included various activities such as training seminars for teachers, the creation of

student associations “AURORA Clubs” to promote inclusive education, and workshops to promote leadership skills among students.
