FHDW University of Applied Sciences

[EduCativ]

The FHDW was founded in 1993 as one of the first private universities in Germany. Our key competence is the advanced experience gained from a dual course in Business Administration or Information Science for Business studies. Nowadays, we prepare future managers in East Westphalia. The quarterly change between theoretical and practical phases is the key competence of the FHDW Studying in small groups, intensive individual support, intensive mentoring by the lecturers, highly practically oriented lectures, and a high number of international university cooperation agreements are other key indicators.
It is essential for the FHDW philosophy that our students are fit: highly qualified for daily work, both personally and professionally. But we also understand the word "fit" in terms of fitting together. Since we know our students well and have been cooperating with our partner companies for a long time, we know what is essential. That is why our trainee program takes place before the students work in the companies to ensure that we bring the right partners together. This way, we can ensure future management talent development in the long term in a targeted, strategically oriented process. This is a decisive advantage of our concept, given the apparent lack of trained business talent today.
Erasmus+ is the EU Programme in education, training, youth, and sport for 2014 -2020. Education, training, youth, and sport can make a significant contribution to help tackle socio-economic changes, the key challenges that Europe will be facing until the end of the decade, and support the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy for growth, jobs, social equity, and inclusion.
Another challenge relates to the development of social capital among young people, the empowerment of young people, and their ability to participate actively in society, in line with the Lison Treaty's provisions to "encourage the participation of young people in democratic life in Europe". This issue can also be targeted through non-formal learning activities, which aim to enhance the skills and competencies of young people and their active citizenship.
The Erasmus+ Programme is designed to support Programme Countries' efforts to efficiently use the potential of Europe's human talent and social capital while confirming the principle of lifelong learning by linking support to formal, non-formal, and informal learning throughout the education, training, and youth fields. The Programme also enhances the opportunities for cooperation and mobility with Partner Countries, notably in higher education and youth.
