W5: MEDGRAM: Media Literacy Interactively and for All
The workshop will present outcomes and experience we gained from cooperation of the Library of the Czech University of Life Sciences, the Faculty of Education of Charles University, and the University of South-Eastern Norway. In the project, we used not only the contacts we have as universities through a network of cooperating secondary schools and a network of centres for lifelong learning but also modern teaching methods and software tools. The main core consists of two MOOC courses designed to meet the needs of each group. The courses use a newly developed system of interactive electronic learning e-books and come with detailed methodologies and tutor guides. In addition, we created an escape game that links general media literacy topics with real-life examples.

W7: What is the role of career counsellors in secondary education? Liechtenstein, Norwegian and Czech perspectives
Our workshop delves into the pivotal role of career counselling in guiding young individuals through the complexities of choosing their future paths. Drawing inspiration from successful models in Liechtenstein and Norway, we explore the effectiveness of purposeful guidance in shaping decisions within upper secondary education. In Liechtenstein, career counselling serves as a crucial support system for youth aged 14-16 considering especially apprenticeships, emphasizing the importance of dedicated stakeholders. Conversely, in Norway, recent advancements in career counselling have integrated these services seamlessly into the education system. Besides that, we also spotlight the 'Shaping Career Counselling for Students' Empowerment' project, aimed at fostering collaboration, sharing experiences, and co-developing strategies to enhance career counselling practices in Czech schools. Join us as we examine these insights and collaborate to enrich our understanding and implementation of career counselling in our respective contexts.

W8: Why internationalize? Side positive effects of Erasmus Mundus on the university environment, students who do not directly study it. Case of Emmir and its multiplier effects
The presentation will deal with the benefits, opportunities, but also obstacles which the phenomenon of internationalization of the Czech higher education is facing through the eyes of the European Master in Migration and Intercultural Relations (EMMIR) Joint Degree Erasmus Mundus at the University of South Bohemia. It will offer examples and practical experience from the cooperation within the international program, which was the first master's program of migration studies offered in the Czech Republic. The presentation will focus on the cooperation with the Norwegian Partner University in Stavanger as an example of a good practice and an inspiration that can lead to fulfilling the objectives of Strategy 2030+, especially due to the need to reduce the difference in the possibilities of gaining quality education in all stages of education and social work.
