Our Erasmus+-funded project Colibri will be introduced under the title “Blended Learning and Problem Based Learning in a multinational and multidisciplinary setting“ at the Research Symposium on Problem-Based Learning (IRSPBL) in Bogotá in early July. Besides aconium GmbH, two more companies and seven universities from all over Europe are involved in the project. The presentation will particularly address the challenges universities and companies are facing nowadays and discuss the approaches from Colibri.

These challenges include the integration of students with an increasingly diverse and multinational background, the introduction of new technologies and preparing students for the labour market.

IRSPBL brings together researchers studying all aspects of the learning process in problem based and project based learning. Topics will be rethinking the educational system, PBL society and progress and indurstry and PBL education.

The Aalborg Centre for Problem Based Learning in Engineering Science and Sustainability under the auspice of UNESCO and Universidad Nacional de Colombia is organizing the congress.
