CLUNL

Rute Costa and Raquel Amaro, researchers at NOVA CLUNL, represent NOVA University Lisbon in the project “Humanities Going Digital” (HUGOD), promoted under the program ERASMUS+.

This project responds to the current situation associated with Covid-19 epidemic and its impact on university teaching.

It turns out that when moving teaching to the online environment it is necessary to develop new ways of working with students, namely with an increase in students’ independent research and study activities. To move to this type of work, it is necessary to motivate students with the increased social impact of their activities.

Therefore, this project proposes the development of an electronic publication, with ISBN number, by each student in which they will present basic issues and questions for discussion.
Students from the participating universities will comment on the content and method of processing the topic, proposing revisions.
The resulting next-books are then made available to the media and literary portals for reading by the general public.

This working method emphasizes international cooperation in motivating students to go deeper into the subjects studied and strengthens their foreign language skills.

Coordinated by Palacky Olomouc University (Czech Republic), this project also has the University of Pecs (Hungary) as a partner.
