Values guide our everyday work and interaction. How can we create shared values, when the community consists of several universities throughout Europe? And is it possible to include students and staff in the process of defining values? The European Commission wants all European University Alliances to promote European values. What are those values and how are they reflected in education? In this European connections episode Minna Kaihovirta dives into this topic with Koen Van Damme. European connections is a podcast with meaningful conversations about European University Alliances and how they deepen European collaboration. It is produced by the U!REKA European University.
