The project \"InnovaVet: Development of Veterinary Education Programs\" is the project funded in the frames of the second call for proposals of the \u201cGeorgia I2Q \u2013 Innovation, Inclusion and Quality\u201d program run by the Competitive Innovation Fund (CIF) (Project number: MES-CIF-2-37). The goal of the project is to improve and enhance integrated master's programs in veterinary medicine implemented by two higher education institutions of Georgia (Georgia Technical University, European University) and, thus, to prepare and offer a workforce corresponding to the new modern requirements of the labour market, which will lead to the promotion of the development of the veterinary field in the state.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

The main objective of the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet module\u00a0\u201cEuropean Union Enlargement: Past Lessons for Future Decisions\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0(EnlargEU, 101127859)\u00a0<\/span>is to raise the awareness of the Georgian youth and young academics about the EU\u2019s enlargement policies, dynamics, and enlargement negotiation procedures from political, economic and legal perspectives through teaching, policy discussions and practical workshops. The main activities include the development of a course syllabus on the \u201cHistory of EU Enlargement: Policies and Politics\u201d, which will be integrated into the International Relations program at European University, as well as planning and organizing three summer schools that the Module team is committed to hold during the lifespan of the project. The project is co-funded by the EC and has a duration of three years.<\/p>

\u201cAdvancing European Values and Standards in Georgian Schools\u201d (620893-EPP-1-2020-1-GE-EPPJMO-PROJECT), shortly EU-GS, is the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet\u00a0Project\u00a0(2020-2022) co-funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by European University, Tbilisi, Georgia.\u00a0EU-GS has had as its ambition to support Georgia on its way to meeting the obligations under the EU-Georgia Association Agreement with respect to the objective of Europeanizing the Georgian secondary education system.\u00a0The\u00a0project\u00a0lasted for 18 months and covered\u00a047 public schools in\u00a023\u00a0cities of 10 regions of Georgia, as well as\u00a0the Georgian capital \u2013 Tbilisi.\u00a0<\/p>

A Policy Paper with recommendations was published based on the findings of the desk and field research conducted within the\u00a0project,\u00a0building on which a Methodological Manual for school teachers and principals was subsequently developed. \u00a0Policy Paper gives an\u00a0overview\u00a0of the Georgian context vis-\u00e0-vis the selected EU member states, reviews relevant state policies and provides recommendations towards more effective and efficient teaching and learning models aimed at overcoming the obstacles that public schools face in\u00a0their\u00a0Europeanization and modernization\u00a0endeavor. \u00a0<\/p>

The Methodological Manual offers school principals and teachers a methodology consisting of theoretical and practical material on teaching and, in general, advancing in school life those European values and standards that, according to the research results, have proved particularly problematic.\u00a0Series of training for beneficiary public school principals and teachers were held around Georgia to\u00a0facilitate the reflection of\u00a0these values and standards in\u00a0the\u00a0teaching methodology and\u00a0their integration\u00a0into the study processes. Training contents were later adapted and presented in the form of hybrid or online seminars to the school pupils of all the beneficiary schools and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>

Public Discussion series that followed,\u00a0resulted in the\u00a0project\u00a0research team developing additional policy recommendations\u00a0in the form of\u00a0information\u00a0graphs that reflected the\u00a0feedback received from the stakeholders.\u00a0In order to ensure the sustainability of the\u00a0project\u00a0results in the long run, European University provided sub-grants for school initiatives aimed at promoting European Union and European values. What is more, European University has integrated the training materials created within the\u00a0project\u00a0into the curriculum of the Teachers Training Program it is executing.<\/p>

All the major events were livestreamed via the European University YouTube channel to reach target audiences beyond those physically present and the EU GS mobile application created under the\u00a0project\u00a0was used to send push-up notifications and keep the users constantly updated.\u00a0Tripartite Consultation Group consisting of the\u00a0project\u00a0implementation team, representatives of the Ministry of Science and Education and the public schools\u2019 principals would occasionally meet to make strategic decisions, evaluate the progress and ensure greater coordination between each other.\u00a0<\/p>

Various research, training, result dissemination and public engagement activities implemented within the frame of the\u00a0project\u00a0have ensured the visibility of the European Union as of an actor, which is positively contributing to the advancement of the democratic values and high [European] standards in the schools of Georgia, and to the overall progress of the Georgian education system performance.<\/p>

The EU co-funded\u00a0Jean Monnet module \u201eEuropeanization as an Instrument for Democratization of Georgia\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0(620916-EPP-1-2020-1-GE-EPPJMO-MODULE) implied organizing three winter schools with the aim of enhancing the knowledge about the EU-led Europeanization and Democratization processes in the context of the EU-Georgia Association Agreement. The module consisted of three main groups of activities:<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1. Winter Schools<\/p>

Participants of the Winter School received information in the interactive mode from the professors of the European University about the Europeanization and democratization of Georgia, the thematic issues envisaged by the Association Agreement, the European challenges of Georgia's European foreign and regional policy and Europeanization. Legislative and executive high-ranking officials, diplomats accredited in Georgia and distinguished practicing specialists in the field were also involved in the process.<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2. Publishing Research Paper<\/p>

The module academic team prepared and published a study with the following research question: Why and how is Europeanization an instrument of democratization in Georgia? European University held a public presentation on the results of this research.<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3. Holding Public Discussions<\/p>

European University held public discussions with the participation of students, academic staff, and country decision-makers. The 2021 discussions focused on the political aspects of the Association Agreement, the 2022 discussions were dedicated to sectoral parts, and the 2023 ones - to Georgia's foreign and regional policy and relations.<\/p>
