About the project

By creating a synergic cooperation between HEIs and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) supporting and collaborating with local public authorities in 5 countries PROMEnhance will allow to: a) exchange practices, knowledge and values; b) foster the development of social and intercultural competences and to create a transnational common ground, based on principles of sharing, unity, diversity and solidarity, and c) raise awareness on EU common values and scale up good practices of civic engagement and participation. In particular, the project promotes a long term relationship among HEIs encouraging their cooperation with local authorities and CSOs in view of enhancing social and economic innovation. Transnational learning paths will allow the consolidation of collaboration among research and teaching teams, and authentic intercultural learning experiences for students. The project will also enhance the capacity of HEIs to develop their “third mission” activities locally but within a transnational cooperation framework.
