It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 1st Erasmus+ International Conference and International Week on “Social Innovation and Volunteering: Active Learning Methodologies”, which will take place between the 4th and the 8th of May 2020 in Barcelos, Portugal, organised by the School of Management of the Polytechnic of Cávado and Ave (IPCA).

A main goal of the International Week is to provide opportunities for Higher Education Institutions’ stakeholders to share and discuss common concerns and experiences in the field of social innovation, volunteering and Active Learning Methodologies in education and business. This International Week is open to all areas of knowledge, for example Management, Law, Engineering, Design and Tourism among others.

The programme of activities will start with the International Conference, which is aimed at sharing and discussing research results and case studies on Social Innovation and Volunteering and different Active Learning Methodologies. The Conference intends to become a platform for good practices and innovative methodologies in higher education. The call for abstracts is open until the 2nd of March. Additional information can be found in annex. The best articles will be published in Téknhe - Review of Applied Management Studies. The Conference website will be announced soon.

The International Week four-day program, from the 5th to the 7th of May, includes panels, workshops and meetings under the same topic. The International Week will bring to the discussion the perspectives of governmental entities (Panel I), academia (Panel II), business (Panel III) and Non-profit Organizations (Panel IV). Portuguese case studies will be shared and participants will have the opportunity to present their own cases/context by indicating in the application the panels (I, II, III, IV) they would like to actively participate in with a talk.

Participants are expected to obtain Erasmus+ staff mobility grants from their home institutions to cover travel and accommodation expenses related to their participation.

Information on accommodation options and practical aspects will be provided after confirmation of participation.

We are looking forward to hosting you in the historical and charismatic city of Barcelos.
