Thomas More International Days, 11-14 March 2014


We would like to invite you to our International Days taking place  from 11 to 14 March 2014!

The seven campuses of Thomas More are joining forces in creating an international atmosphere for all our students and personnel for the 10th edition of the International Days.

We are pleased to invite lecturers and staff members from our partner institutes to our university college in the framework of the Erasmus teacher exchange/staff training programme. We strongly believe in the importance of internationalisation for all our students and in the networking and the exchange of know-how and experience between lecturers and staff members.

The programme will consist of sessions, lectures or workshops of our international guests, which may be taught a number of times to different groups. Sessions will be open to our students, colleagues and interested representatives from the field. Furthermore, it would be interesting to give a country and/or institution presentation, focusing on general background, practical and cultural differences and on how your university is organised. Classes can be taught in English, French or German.

The theme of our 10h international days is connected to the European theme of 2014: “European Year for Reconciling Work and Family Life” with a focus on how sustainable well-being of people can be improved in the challenging times of today. What practices and policies exist on a good work life balance, on productivity, job security and on quality of life? Your presentation may have a connection with the European theme, but this is not compulsory.

Administrative or research staff of our partner institutes, who want to come under the staff training programme, will have a full programme on Tuesday 11 March and a suitable programme during the rest of the week, according to their wishes and needs. They are also invited to attend sessions in the different student groups. During the whole programme, there will be many networking possibilities with lecturers, administrative and research colleagues, representatives from companies and organisations we work with, and of course students!

You will find the full programme and application at our website. Please fill in the application form asap so that we can contact you for further information and changes in the programme. Accommodation suggestions are given on the website. Please book a hotel close to the campus where you will mostly teach. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you need further information or documentation to be filled in for you to enable your participation. Accompanying persons are welcome and will be able to pay for the meals in which they participate.

Looking forward to hearing from you shortly and hoping to see you at Thomas More in March 2014!

With kind regards
Agnes Dillien
