The 3xC project will design a learning environment applying the tandem learning concept in the context of a programme aimed at the development of skills and competencies of employees in the field of transnational cooperation.

In this context, the concept focuses on project-based cooperation rather than contractual cooperation. That means that the learning concept will focus on the problem of more comprehensive cooperation (which is rather not associated with simple trade relations) in order to meet the more “sophisticated” and ambitious goals of international cooperation like common research and innovative projects, joint ventures, or common export activities on other markets.

The goal is to promote learning based on the interactive approach and the stimulation of international cooperation. Within the framework of the learning programme, parallel workshop sessions will be organized. The participants will be grouped into international “virtual” teams. These groups, using internet communication tools, will have to face and solve real-life transnational cooperation problems. That approach will help participants to learn to use communication technologies in practice and develop communication and coordination skills in a foreign language.

The learning methodology will be enriched by supporting IT solutions – messengers, VOIP, or discussion forums.
