Representatives of the Latvian Academy of Culture Participate in ACE²-EU Alliance Training on Erasmus+ Key Action 2 Project Management in Gdańsk
From 10 to 12 February, training sessions for staff of the ACE²-EU European University Alliance partner institutions were held at the Medical University of Gdańsk in Poland. The training focused on “Communication in International Project Teams and Management of ERASMUS+ Key Action 2 Projects.” The Latvian Academy of Culture (LAC) was represented by Asnāte Kalēja and Austra Ciša.
During the three days of intensive training, representatives from the alliance partner universities strengthened their intercultural communication skills, shared project management experiences, and fostered collaboration to support the successful implementation of future initiatives. Particular attention was given to communication and cooperation in an international working environment. Participants developed their communication skills and intercultural competencies, learning to navigate cultural, linguistic, and organizational differences and to turn diversity into a strength within international teams.
A strong practical focus was placed on the management of Erasmus+ KA2 projects. Through hands-on tasks and case studies, participants worked on building project consortia, defining roles and responsibilities, managing team dynamics, planning activities, identifying risks, and responding effectively to unforeseen situations during project implementation.
The event also provided a valuable platform for the exchange of experience and best practices among partner institutions, particularly in strategic planning and joint problem-solving when developing programmes to support students and university staff and to strengthen institutional capacity in higher education. At the same time, the training contributed to reinforcing long-term and sustainable cooperation within the ACE²-EU Alliance.
The training was supported by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) under the project “Support for European Universities.”
