Episode 4: Promoting participation and co-creation
It is easy to co-create with small or medium size organizations. But when the total student body is approximately 123,000 students and a combined number of staff is about 11,000 employees the challenge of co-creating rises to the next level. These numbers are huge - and still there is drive to co-create. How can it be done with success? Why is it important to put effort into it? And what do Legos have to do with it all? In this European connection podcast Minna Kaihovirta discusses with Dymphna Snijders Blok.

Episode 3: Communicating across Europe
In this European connections podcast Minna Kaihovirta and Ana Raposo delve into the topic of communication. All European Universities aim to communicate as effectively as possible and spread the word about what they are doing. The goal is to activate students to make the most out of offered opportunities and at the same time inform a broader audience on how they can participate. As usual there is some struggle in finding the right channels and to reach the right audiences.

Values guide our everyday work and interaction. How can we create shared values, when the community consists of several universities throughout Europe?
