Information about Interactive Open Online Courses (IOOCs)
‘IOOC’ stands for ‘Interactive Open Online Course’. Just like Global Circles, IOOCs give young adults from different countries the opportunity to participate in a meaningful and intercultural exchange.
Over a period of four to ten weeks, interactive and valuable discussions on socio-political issues will take place, which will be led by facilitators. Academic experts will provide different materials and set assignments for the participants to complete between sessions.
This format will require a time commitment of about two hours per week.
Important information: It’s ok if your English isn’t perfect. Your language skills will improve as you progress through the course.
At the end of the programme, you will be awarded five ECTS credits and will receive a certificate of attendance.
We will offer IOOCs again as soon as it is possible to do so. Watch this page for announcements.
