Summary

Abstract

The article presents the Erasmus Plus Strategic Partnership international project “NEW FACES: Facing Europe in Crisis: Shakespeare’s World and Present Challenges” (2016-2019), which was granted to and realised by a consortium of nine European universities, including the Jagiellonian University. In each of the three subsequent academic years two to four teachers from the involved universities and about sixty students participated in a high-level collaborative programme which included seminars, lectures, panels and other academic and non-academic events. The article describes the origin of the project, its main aims and objectives, as well as the achieved results. It presents the participating institutions’ fields of expertise and their contribution to the content of the teaching and research programme. It reports on the rules and requirements of students’ participation and on the tasks and activities the students were expected to undertake. It also summarises the seminar offer and some of the academic events that were organised in the course of the project years, as well as presents some teaching methods and procedures, referring to an example of one of the seminars. It is argued that a Strategic Partnership project can be an effective academic training ground that enables students to actively acquire and develop a range of academic, social and international competences and skills vital for their involvement in shaping the future of Europe as prospective scholars and as citizens.
