Mobility opportunities and Partnerships
We're very excited to announce the development of the new MOOC "Common Challenges of Competing Regionalisms".
Registrations are open until April 22,2021.
The MOOC is part of the new Jean Monnet Project, where Epoka University is a partner.
Course description:
Course is divided into six issue specific blocks with multiple video lectures and various e-learning material in each. The course will focus on the multifaceted nature of regionalism in different geo-territorial and geo-political contexts in Europe and Eurasia and on its conceptual and theoretical definition by looking at the relevant cleavages in contemporary societies and at the fluid and ever-changing nature of inter- and intra-state interaction and supranational/intergovernmental trends of integration. Historical and institutional comparative perspectives will allow participants to practically assess the developments in the European and Eurasian regions and to investigate their impact on specific case studies.

The course consists of 100 points. In order to pass the course participants need to get at least 51 points accumulated from all assessed assignments.
The final assessment of the course consists of the following elements:
Two multiple-choice quizzes - 2x20 =max 40 points (you need to attempt the test)
Written assignments - 3x20 = max 60 points
Contribution to the forum - pass/fail (prerequisite for final assessment)
Total: 100 points Provided that the prerequisites are met, a passing grade is determined by a final computation of points higher or equal to 51 out of 100.
A participant, who has successfully completed the course:
understands and distinguishes the key concepts and fundamentals to make sense of the processes of regional integration;
understands and distinguishes the institutional and historical developments in the EU;
examines the process of regional integration in Eurasia and compares its milestones with the ones of the EU
identifies the dynamics of the democratic process and the dimension of supranationalism, parliamentarism, and governance in different regional contexts;
analyzes and argues on concrete cases of regional integration in the light of the relevant concepts;
evaluates the current state of regional integration in Europe and Eurasia, the room for interaction and the potential future trends.
