Creative Education Academy

The aim of the project was to internationalize teaching programs, make the teaching offer more attractive to international students and promote Poland (and the Silesian region). The project involved launching 3 intensive courses conducted in English for 60 international students:

Gamification of Learning
Digital Boost Camp
Project Based Learning

Invited to participate in the project were international experts (from Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, South Korea, USA, Canada and Chile), who prepared teaching materials and instructions for their use over the following years. Their activities were supported by our University staff, who in turn learned examples of good practice and gained knowledge that could be used in their own teaching activities.

The primary outcome of the project is an interactive teaching platform for blended learning. The platform includes teaching materials in the form of a game, videos, case studies, and an e-book with substantive materials, as well as guidebooks with instruction on the use of methods such as "design thinking," "pep talk," and "project-based learning".

Project duration: October 1, 2021 - June 30, 2023

The total value of the project was PLN 489.853,86 and was funded by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) from the European Union funds within the framework of PO WER, "SPINAKER – Intensive International Education Programs 2020".

Internationalization of the University website

Internationalization coordinated activities that were part of the "Close – International – All Life Long. Comprehensive program for sustainable development of the University of Economics in Katowice" project.

Within the framework of Task 11, Module VI, it has been planned to carry out the internationalization process of the University website. It is necessary to constantly improve and update and adapt it to the changing audience, which is increasingly made up of people from abroad in the form of both students and employees of our University. It is crucial to facilitate access to essential information and services for international students and employees, as well as information on the tasks, services and contact information of organizational units.

The project was implemented under the Operational Program Knowledge Education Development. For that purpose, the National Center for Research and Development awarded the University more than PLN 4.970.000,00 in financing.
