Report on Participation in the BIP Mobility Programme in Prague
Participation in an International Programme in Prague: Focus on Inclusion, Diversity and Career Development in Higher Education
From 9 to 13 June 2025, representatives of our College, Anita Kovačić Popović, Katarina Jonev Ćiraković and Stefan Rosić, participated in the international Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) mobility held in Prague, Czech Republic, organized by EDUCA International o.p.s. and Newton University.
The main theme of the programme was “Inclusion, Diversity and Career Development in Higher Education”, with a special focus on the internationalization of universities and the implementation of inclusive principles within the Erasmus+ programme.
The programme included a preparatory online meeting, while the physical mobility in Prague consisted of a series of interactive workshops, lectures and sessions held at Newton University. In addition to the educational part, participants were offered a rich cultural programme, which enabled the exchange of experiences and the strengthening of international cooperation with colleagues from various European countries.
Among the key programme activities were presentations by universities and organizations from European consortia, lectures on the Europass and EURES platforms, lectures on the importance of mental health during student mobility, as well as workshops dedicated to promoting inclusion and diversity in higher education.
Participation in this programme contributed to acquiring new knowledge about inclusive practices in mobility and ways of supporting students from marginalized groups. In addition, the delegation had the opportunity to become acquainted with modern approaches to the development of career centres in higher education.
One of the most significant outcomes of the mobility was the establishment of concrete cooperation between our College and institutions from the Czech Republic, Spain, Portugal and other participating countries. During the networking sessions, contacts were exchanged and the first steps towards signing bilateral exchange agreements were agreed upon, representing an important step towards improving the international visibility and mobility of Medika College students and professors.
