SHORT ADVANCED PROGRAMME
How to Become a True Ambassador for RUN-EU?
25 June 2024
The Short Advanced Programme (SAP) ‘How to Become a True Ambassador for RUN-EU is jointly coordinated by the Howest University of Applied Sciences (Howest) and the Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK).
In this SAP students will take on the role of ambassadors, mastering inclusive communication techniques that break down barriers and foster meaningful connections.
Through dynamic projects such as the creation of testimonials, social media campaigns, podcasts, blogs and vlogs, they’ll learn to amplify diverse voices and celebrate the vibrant tapestry of international student experiences.
Part of this journey to become a RUN-EU ambassador is to find the RUN-EU-er in each participant. Students will cultivate the skills needed to make a lasting impact in their communities and even beyond.
As this week focuses on becoming ambassadors, students must be willing to step out of their comfort zones to spread the word about the RUN-EU identity to others.
