Download or read book Erasmus et la mobilit des jeunes europ ens written by Magali Ballatore and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2010 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le programme ERASMUS (EuRopean community Action Schema for the Mobility of University Students), mis en place en 1987 pour promouvoir à la fois la mobilité et la reconnaissance mutuelle des diplômes en Europe, ne concerne, aujourd'hui encore, qu'une minorité. Certes, le nombre total d'étudiants européens en mobilité s'est accru depuis son institutionnalisation, mais le programme ERASMUS permet-il une réelle démocratisation de l'accès à la mobilité et des " débouchés " qui lui sont associés ? L'augmentation de l'offre de séjour à l'étranger semble plutôt accélérer un mouvement de spécialisation sociale des filières d'études et des destinations. Loin des récits inspirés par le psychologisme ambiant et de la rhétorique ou des prophéties sur la mondialisation, il s'agit dans cet ouvrage de répondre empiriquement à ces questions et d'interroger les discours sur le programme ERASMUS, comme étant populaire et enrichissant.

Download or read book The EU s Government of Worker Mobility written by Hélène Michel and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-16 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the expertise of economists, legal scholars, political scientists, and sociologists in order to integrate diverse perspectives and a broad range of analytical tools in the conceptualisation of labour mobility. It examines how variably the question of labour mobility has translated into the policies, laws, and norms through which the EU as a whole is governed. The contributions focus on the actors – European and national officials, experts, trade union and employers’ organisations – and on instruments implemented by institutions and political organisations – European Agency, coordination systems, European Job Mobility Portal (EURES) – to increase and support mobility within the European Union. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European/EU studies, migration studies, labour studies, political sociology, and more broadly to comparative politics.

Download or read book Language Mobility and Study Abroad in the Contemporary European Context written by Rosamond Mitchell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores student mobility and study abroad programmes across Europe, presenting original research on personal, linguistic, and intercultural development during study abroad experiences. The volume synthesizes work from the 2016-2020 Cost Action 15130 ‘Study Abroad Research in European Perspective’ research network, offering a multidisciplinary account of the intersection of language learning and study abroad in Europe amidst the changing contemporary higher education landscape, as well as new directions for future research. The initial section comprises short survey chapters outlining key themes and literature, connecting traditional study abroad research with new multilingual and transnational realities. This is supported by a main section containing original empirical studies in a wide range of European contexts and a short afterword bringing together policy and pedagogical proposals. Taken together, the collection shines a light on the impact of the internationalisation of higher education on linguistic dimensions of student mobility while including a range of lesser studied settings and languages. New insights are offered on language learning, identity, interculturality, student agency and motivation, and transnational social networks in the study abroad context. This book will be of particular interest to students, researchers and institutions interested in the intersection of language learning and study abroad, including such areas as multilingualism, higher education, and applied linguistics.

Download or read book Regimes of Happiness written by Yuri Contreras-Vejar and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Regimes of Happiness' is a comparative and historical analysis of how human societies have articulated and enacted distinctive notions of human fulfillment, determining divergent moral, ethical and religious traditions, and incommensurate and conflicting understanding of the meaning of the ‘good life’. A two-part book, it provides a historical view of the way in which Western societies, the descendants of the Latin Roman Empire, created languages and institutions that established specifi c and occasionally antithetical conceptions of a fulfilled human life or ‘happiness’ in the first part. In the second part, it explores how non-Western societies and non-Christian religions have conceived and established their own ideals of human perfection. 'Regimes of Happiness' is a critical reflection on modern notions of happiness which are typically focused on individual feelings of pleasure.

Download or read book Global Exchanges written by Ludovic Tournès and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exchanges between different cultures and institutions of learning have taken place for centuries, but it was only in the twentieth century that such efforts evolved into formal programs that received focused attention from nation-states, empires and international organizations. Global Exchanges provides a wide-ranging overview of this underresearched topic, examining the scope, scale and evolution of organized exchanges around the globe through the twentieth century. In doing so it dramatically reveals the true extent of organized exchange and its essential contribution for knowledge transfer, cultural interchange, and the formation of global networks so often taken for granted today.
Download or read book Dictionary of European actors written by Elisabeth Lambert Abdelgawad and published by Primento. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the European political space has been extensively explored, research has remained all too often focused on the institutions of the European Union and the Council of Europe rather than on the actors who make Europe. This dictionary brings a new angle to scholarship on Europe by systematically investigating its actors: those who work within the institutions or in close contact with them; those who are the targets of European policies; those in the name of whom reforms are carried out; those who promote Europe and those who oppose it. It showcases a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach that bridges the usual separation between the European Union and the Council of Europe. In each entry, contributors selected among the leading specialists in their fields of research present the state of the art and the most current research perspectives on European actors. Students, teachers and researchers with an interest in Europe will find this volume to be a valuable work of reference and a source of new and stimulating ideas and perspectives on Europe. More broadly, the dictionary will appeal to ‘professionals of Europe’ eager to gain insights into their working environment as well as to readers interested in understanding Europe through its actors.
Download or read book Des tudiants europ ens written by Vassiliki Papatsiba and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objet de cet ouvrage est une analyse de l'expérience étudiante de la mobilité en Europe, ceci à travers les rapports remis par les étudiants en fin de séjour auprès du Conseil régional de Rhône-Alpes qui les a co-financés. L'étude s'attache à explorer les spécificités de l'appréhension de l'étranger et les modes d'approche et de négociation de l'altérité que l'étudiant développe lors d'un séjour à l'étranger dans le cadre du programme européen Erasmus. Elle pose également la question de la contribution de cette période de mobilité en Europe à la transformation de l'identité culturelle et à l'évolution personnelle de l'étudiant. Interroger les effets sur ces jeunes candidats à la mobilité d'un côtoiement, plus long et plus systématique que le voyage touristique, mais plus temporaire que le changement de résidence, devient une démarche indispensable devant le défi historique de construction d'avenir commun que rencontrent l'Europe et ses populations. Dans une tension entre l'ouverture des frontières aux capitaux, aux hommes, aux idées, et l'affirmation, voire le repli sur les identités nationales, l'étude de ces processus de contacts directs entre ces jeunes Européens mobiles, peut apporter des éléments de réponse au questionnement politique actuel et suggérer les moyens à mettre en place pour accompagner et faciliter les mutations à venir.
Download or read book A European Politics of Education written by Romuald Normand and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A European Politics of Education proposes a sociology of education establishing connections between empirical data coming from European-scale comparative surveys, normative assumptions structuring actors’ representations and interpretative judgements, and a specific focus on Lifelong Learning policy areas.

The book: Addresses an important agenda: how the policies and politics of supranational Europe are making a European educational space Contains a response to the emergence of new epistemic governance and instruments at European level Contains contributions from the EU and the UK which give a comprehensive selection of perspectives and analysis of the field as it concerns Europe The complexity of the contemporary European education policy space is addressed here with new lines of inquiry as well as a reflexive outlook, on standardization, policy-making and actor engagement. Students and researchers of European policy studies, education policy analysts and theorists will all be particularly interested readers.

This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume offer a sampling of contemporary efforts to update the portrayal of study abroad in the applied linguistics literature through attention to its social and cultural aspects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En un quart de siècle, l'espace d'une génération, Erasmus a transformé le cadre des études en Europe, devenant ainsi le programme européen le plus connu. Ce programme est la preuve de ce que l'Union européenne peut accomplir grâce à une vision claire, de l'enthousiasme et la volonté de coopérer. Erasmus a changé la vie de près de trois millions de jeunes et a ouvert les esprits de la première véritable génération d'Européens. La présente brochure illustre la contribution du programme Erasmus à la vision européenne originelle, à savoir rapprocher les nations en plaçant les peuples au cœur de la construction d'une Europe unie. Les périodes de mobilité passées à l'étranger permettent aux jeunes d'enrichir leurs connaissances et leurs compétences, et leur offrent l'occasion de prendre confiance en eux et de devenir autonomes. Cette expérience leur procure un avantage sur un marché du travail de plus en plus compétitif et continue de porter ses fruits tout au long de leur carrière. Les ambassadeurs Erasmus qui racontent leur expérience dans les pages suivantes en sont les meilleurs témoins." -- EU Bookshop.
Download or read book Elite Schools written by Aaron Koh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geography matters to elite schools — to how they function and flourish, to how they locate themselves and their Others. Like their privileged clientele they use geography as a resource to elevate themselves. They mark, and market, place. This collection, as a whole, reads elite schools through a spatial lens. It offers fresh lines of inquiry to the ‘new sociology of elite schools.’ Collectively the authors examine elite schools and systems in different parts of the world. They highlight the ways that these schools, and their clients, operate within diverse local, national, regional, and global contexts in order to shape their own and their clients’ privilege and prestige. The collection also points to the uses of the transnational as a resource via the International Baccalaureate, study tours, and the discourses of global citizenship. Building on research about social class, meritocracy, privilege, and power in education, it offers inventive critical lenses and insights particularly from the ‘Global South.’ As such it is an intervention in global power/knowledge geographies.
Download or read book Erasmus written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In a quarter of a century, the space of one generation, Erasmus, the best known of all European programmes, has transformed the experience of studying in Europe. It has shown what the European Union can achieve with a clear vision, enthusiasm and a willingness to cooperate. Erasmus has changed the lives of almost three million young people and opened the minds of the first genuinely European generation. This brochure illustrates how the programme has contributed to the original European vision of bringing together nations by putting people first in the building of a united Europe. Time spent abroad provides opportunities for gaining knowledge and skills and, for the young people taking part, a chance to become more confident and self-reliant. This experience gives them the edge in an increasingly competitive labour market and continues to have a positive impact throughout their careers. This can best be expressed in the words of the Erasmus Ambassadors, whose experiences are set out in these pages." -- EU Bookshop.
