In celebration of the global Erasmus+ Programme in Europe and beyond on October 13, 14 and 15, SLTC Research University organized SLTC ERASMUS DAY on the 14th of October 2022 at the Padukka university premises and this was the only event organized by a Sri Lankan university for the year 2022.
The event was graced by the H.E. Dr. Victor Chiujdea, His Excellency the Ambassador, Embassy of Romania for Sri Lanka and Hon. Mr. Lars Bredal, Chargé d’Affaires, European Union to Sri Lanka & Maldives, delegates from Embassy of Germany, and other well-wishers.
#ERASMUS DAYs is a celebration for European countries and their friends from around the world to organize an event, share Erasmus experience or spread the word about the collaborative work and projects supporting the various topics and areas. SLTC is the only non- state university in Sri Lanka to be part of four Erasmus+ projects in the domains of technology enabled active learning (TEAL2.O), non -academic staff capacity building (ENACT), inclusive education (INCEDU) and accreditation and internationalization (SSAPI). As a result of these projects, SLTC established a TEAL classroom, and a Special Needs Support Centre, obtained equipment and participated in transnational meetings and events held in several European countries. SLTC has close collaborations with European partner universities and institutions and has developed partnerships for student and staff mobility programmes. Erasmus+ projects not only support the partners in these projects, but they also pave the way for further collaborations between the universities.
The event was also attended by the project members representing the University of Peradeniya, University of Rajarata, University of Ruhuna, University of Moratuwa and the Eastern University of Sri Lanka.
