The field of Higher Education has been recognised as one of the key drivers within the EU2020 Strategy to overcome the socioeconomic crisis, to boost growth and jobs and to foster equity and inclusion. Moreover, one of the key priorities for HE is the reinforcement of the “Knowledge Triangle”, through the support of innovation, entrepreneurship and university-business cooperation. This specifically applies to those fields such as diversity and social inclusion sectors, where changes in education and training are required to equip the future workforce with the new skills for the new demands generated by the changing patterns of economic growth as a result of the changes in our society. Education in diversity and social inclusion is considered a key driver for sustainable growth with a significant contribution to Europe‘s overall social and economic health, competitiveness, creativity, innovation and employment. Staff qualifications along youth unemployment remain one of the crucial points in Europe. To boost the recruitment of highly prepared staff requires initiatives addressing training to make the Education sector attractive and capable of transforming both the academic knowledge and high-level basic and transversal competences required to be useful and applicable. For these reasons, this Strategic Partnership proposes the creation of a flexible learning pathway in line with the needs of learners and social organisations in meeting diversity and social inclusion issues and solutions for EU citizens . It will provide a joint study modules program between Higher Education and Vocational Education and Training that will capitalise the Education sector with prepared youth, providing Higher Education Institutions innovation, expertise and added value.MEDUSA arises from a Strategic Partnership composed of four entities from three countries (Spain, Italy and Romania) that are highly concerned about social inclusion and diversity issues: Three universities and one SME. With the aim to develop an International Master´s Degree in education in Diversity and Social Inclusion, which will offer an adapted curriculum to equip the young generation with the specific, basic and transversal competences currently required in the Education sector. This international Master Degree will provide students with opportunities to gain additional skills by studying and training on-line.The proposed specific objectives are to: SO1. Capacity Building in the educative sector: Promoting ACTIVE COOPERATION and partnership between actors from the knowledge triangle: HE institutions (ULL, ULBS, UTIU), industry (EVM), Social Partners and local/Regional Bodies (Stakeholders) to obtain an impact on social responsibility, modernisation and internationalisation of HE.SO2. Create FLEXIBLE LEARNING PATHWAYS able to provide and recognize HE students the most important competences and skills, such as leadership, internationalisation and use of digital learning. This new pathway will include validation of prior learning and will aim to improve the level of both sector specific, high level basic and transversal competences and skills, with particular regard to those relevant for the labour market in the diversity and social inclusion related sector: management, languages and leadership as well as their contribution to a cohesive society, in particular through increased opportunities for both learning and labour mobility and through strengthened cooperation between HE, VET, and work.SO3. Promoting cooperation and MOBILITY ACTIVITIES, providing more opportunities for students to gain all the specific and transversal skills required and involving them along with partners staff and stakeholders in shaping the outcomes and ensuring their relevance.
