Languages shape how we learn, communicate, and understand Europe’s cultural richness. How can universities make better use of linguistic diversity and plurilingualism to foster intercultural dialogue and a shared European identity?
In spring 2026, the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), together with Universität Innsbruck, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, and Palacký University Olomouc, offers the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) “Linguistic Diversity, Interculturality and European Identity.” The programme is open to Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students from Aurora partner universities in the fields of Education, Humanities, and Social Sciences.
This programme combines:
Three online sessions (13–17 April 2026)
Topic: Multidimensional reflections on plurilingualism as European reality
On-site week in Tarragona, Spain (20–24 April 2026)
Topic: Intercultural competence, From multilingualism to plurilingualism, Linguistic diversity and Europen Identity
Students will engage in interdisciplinary discussions, collaborative group work, and reflective activities that position linguistic diversity and plurilingual competence as key resources in higher education and European society.
Students must be nominated by their home university to apply. Universität Innsbruck students should submit a one-page motivation letter (A4) to: aurora-mobility@uibk.ac.at
The deadline for UIBK student application is 20 February 2026.
