In the vibrant pulse of the French capital, where centuries of art, science and education intertwine, the managing director of Academia Institute of Technology, Žan Dapčevič, recently gained new perspectives and strengthened international ties with the partner institution iAcademie. His visit to Paris was fruitful and extensive, full of promise for future collaboration and exchange of knowledge.
Getting to Know iAcademie and the French Educational System
The first step of his visit was directed towards the partner institution iAcademie, where he had the opportunity to explore the depth and breadth of the French vocational and professional educational system. The visit brought a wealth of knowledge about how educational institutions in France face the challenges of the modern world and how innovatively they approach study and teaching. This exchange opened the door to discussions about possibilities for collaboration within the Erasmus+ programme, which would enable students and lecturers to gain valuable international experience and exchange of knowledge.
In the continuation of the visit, Žan Dapčevič attended the general assembly of UNESCO, during which the ceremonial presentation of the Global Teacher Prize took place, where the Slovenian teacher, doc. dr. Uroš Ocepek, received recognition as one of the top 50 teachers in the world. This recognition is a symbol of the role that Slovenia has in the global educational space, and at the same time confirmation that Slovenian teachers are among the most dedicated and innovative in the world.
Žan Dapčevič, as a member of the judging academy of the Varkey Foundation, has also left his mark on the sister Global Student Prize, where he helps in selecting talented and socially engaged students from around the world. This role is not only an honour, but also a responsibility that brings with it a deep understanding of the impact that young minds have on the future of our world.
Meeting with Media Production Student Lucija Macuh
The last, but by no means least important part of the visit, was a meeting with media production student Lucija Macuh, who is undertaking her work placement in Paris at the Paris independent film festival. This experience gives her an invaluable opportunity for learning and professional development in direct contact with the independent film industry, which is known for its creativity and innovation.
Žan Dapčevič's visit to Paris was a kaleidoscope of experiences and opportunities, showing how international collaboration can enrich the educational process and contribute to a more connected and enlightened world. With these new partnerships and connections, Academia Institute of Technology will be able to offer its students even richer and more diverse educational opportunities that reach far beyond Slovenian borders.
