The BRIDGE Summer Community Engagement Internship is a short, intensive summer program that allows you to gain real-life experience, work with local communities, and explore social issues across Europe – while earning valuable skills for your future.
What is BRIDGE?
BRIDGE is a 2–4 week summer internship where you work with a community organisation (NGO, school, cultural centre, third place) in a European region.
It is part of the EMERGE Alliance, a network of universities that believe learning should be connected to real social challenges.
This is not a typical internship:
- You don’t just “help” – you learn with the community,
- Your work responds to real local needs,
- Reflection and learning are as important as practice.
This course aims to address the need for resilience and increased capacity of HEI teachers to manage an effective shift towards digital education, to use emerging technologies up to their full potential while employing instructional design strategies, especially in cases of emergencies such as the pandemic or other disruptive events which can undermine the social dimension of learning. It will provide HEI teachers with knowledge and skills for successful and innovative use of emerging technologies in teaching, but also barriers and negative effects of technologies on inclusion and diversity will be addressed.
The course will enable the purposeful use of emerging technologies by HEI teachers (such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality or robotics), to foster digital competence, fluency, intelligence and engagement of students, critical thinking, design thinking and student creativity.- Učiteľ: Alžbeta Brozmanová Gregorová

Participants in this course (academic teachers) will learn key characteristics of e-Service-Learning (e-SL) and will be provided with training tools for the adoption of e-SL to build inclusive higher education systems as well as examples of good practices from diverse study fields and curriculum design options. Academic teachers will also learn how to design their own e-SL course.
The e-course is developed by the e-SL4EU consortium (https://e-sl4eu.us.edu.pl/) of 6 partners from 5 EU countries.
