OBSTACLES OBSTACLE WHEN IT WILL BE ADDRESSED Only issue is timing – we will accomplish on time all steps anticipated and planned but the legal procedures in the country will not allow us to start implementing new curriculum before September 2019 Discussion on timeline – Thursday 28 th September Procedures, policies and laws – Statute of the University prescribes ways of curricula innovation and the time in which that innovation could be done and the amount of changes that can be done in order to innovate the programme Discussion on timeline flexibility– Thursday 28 th September Joint courses with other Departments Immediate discussion

OBSTACLES OBSTACLE Need clarity on competencies Need to clarify competencies generic WHEN IT WILL BE ADDRESSED and specific Activity 27 th September pm terminology around Activity 27 th September pm Clarification on the programme design Development of competencies, stakeholder analysis and partner work Stakeholder analysis should be planned with a methodologist Discussion and activity ‘Stakeholders Needs Analysis: Process of data gathering, tools development’

CONCERNS/SUGGESTIONS – IMMEDIATELY DISCUSSED Step 7 can be omitted because it is included in step 2 After step 6 (development of competencies) all department members should work in team to develop the study programme Because the project envisages cooperation with various stakeholders their timeliness should be taken into account We believe a timeline should be added to the steps

CONCERNS/SUGGESTIONS – IMMEDIATELY DISCUSSED The proposal of the study programme should be followed by the development of a syllabus for every course and that could be stated as step 7. 1 One person from each institution should be responsible for the designated activities All institutions should be ready, flexible and prepared for implementing the action plan
