This encounter is framed within an ERASMUS Intensive Programme: <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: medium; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">GLOGE 2012/2013 <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: medium; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 15.555556297302246px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Global Heritage and Sustainability: Geological, Cultural and Historical.

 <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: medium; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Our project offers an attractive proposal to study the built heritage and its preservation from different perspectives: Geological, Historical and Cultural points of view. Scientific specific tools give us a multidisciplinary background to transmit to our students the necessity to preserve our heritage within a sustainable perspective. If we know what we have and what it was, we will know how to work in its preservation.

The IP includes lectures, fieldwork and e-learning methodologies. The latter uses several forms of technology sustaining information yielding media, from virtual platforms to interactive technologies. The staff-student ratio is around 1 to 3. For the e-learning activities we use the virtual platform at the University of Salamanca, using Moodle, which is accessible to the participants, once registered.

The ERASMUS IP programme intends to <a href="http://www.salamancatourvirtual.es/" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(210, 32, 32); text-decoration: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: medium; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">facilitate quantitatively and qualitatively the European mobility system. During these two weeks of IP we will aim to gain a major objective: to learn how to work as a group. Student teamwork is enhanced, both on-site and in a virtual base, once the course is finished and everybody is back at home. A memory of the course will be presented and several activities will be evaluated, individually and by groups, to get the course certificate.</a>

We hope to get a link among students and professors during and after the course.
