Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP)

Programas intensivos combinados (BIPs) são programas curtos e intensivos que usam formas inovadoras de aprendizagem, ensino e treino para alunos e funcionários, incluindo o uso de cooperação online.

Durante os programas intensivos mistos, grupos de estudantes ou funcionários realizarão uma mobilidade física de curto prazo no exterior, combinada com um componente virtual obrigatório, facilitando o intercâmbio colaborativo de aprendizado online e o trabalho em equipe. A duração da componente física situa-se entre os 5 e os 30 dias, mas não existe limitação quanto à duração da componente virtual.

Testemunhos

Quando me inscrevi no programa tinha uma ideia completamente diferente do que seriam as atividades ou a experiência em si, acabou por ser uma experiência que me surpreendeu pela positiva em muitas áreas. Fui visitar Bruxelas um dia antes de ir para Antuérpia. Penso agora que tive uma pequena ideia do que é erasmus, do que é estar em aula, com professores e colegas novos mas ao mesmo tempo conhecer o país e a cultura. Tenho uma amiga que vai se erasmus para o país onde estivemos e estava com algum receio em ir. Após a semana, percebi que não tinha nada a temer porque tinha tido realmente uma boa experiência. O programa ajuda quem não tem possibilidade de ir de Erasmus mas também quem quer ir e está com receio. Dada a minha experiência, mal posso esperar para repetir e espero que surjam mais oportunidades para mim e para os meus colegas durante o nosso percurso académico. Além de ter feito amigos de outros lados do mundo penso que fortaleci algumas ligações com amigos. Partilhamos uma semana que ficará para sempre. O “I” em intensivo tem alguma razão de estar lá, exigiu algum esforço e penso que foi um sentimento mútuo, não só para os alunos do ISEG. Como a maioria dos alunos estavam em exames quando foram pedidos os assignments, foi fácil de perder o rumo e depois os trabalhos preenchiam as tardes da nossa semana. No final estava cansada mas cheia, no sentido que tinh sido uma semana realmente muito produtiva e divertida ao mesmo tempo.

My experience in this short-term mobility programme can certainly be described as remarkable and enriching. I had the chance to integrate such an amazing class of motivated and brilliant people. Each one intriguing in their own way, being an utter pleasure to have met and befriended them. Moreover, my participation throughout the programme was definitely a challenging one, both in the virtual and physical part, juggling between BIP’s assignments, academic life and personal life. This has then enabled me to develop aspects such as time management, overall organisation, teamwork and even communication, recalling how after classes my team and I would join to work on our report or when I asked my hostel roommates for their insights regarding a certain topic! The Blended Intensive Programme on Leadership Development has since then widened my scope regarding “soft” skills – especially Leadership – and its impact on social interactions and people’s self-improvement. The existing sheer amount of theory and academic research was unbeknownst to me and showcased how complex and unknown this topic still is. By looking back, I can only say that it was truly an experience that has shaped me as person and a collection of moments and memories that I will undoubtedly cherish forever.
