Research mobility of Sabauni lecturer, Shorena Gogiashvili, in the Lublin Universities
Shorena Gogiashvili- manager of the international students' service at Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani University and the affiliated assistant of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, was on a research exchange program at partner Polish universities of Sabauni. From October 15 to October 30, Shorena Gogiashvili held one-week business meetings at Maria Sklodowska-Curie and Lublin Catholic Universities. During the visit, the lecturer of Sabuni conducted public lectures and workshops for Polish students, held meetings with international relations services where the representatives of universities shared their experiences regarding services for foreign students. As a result of the meetings, future cooperation plans were drawn up.
“My two-week visit to Lublin universities turned out to be quite fruitful and successful in many ways. First of all, to establish new and strong relationships, which is very important in an academic environment. During my stay in Poland, I had the opportunity to attend the lectures of my colleagues in different fields and share our experiences with each other. Within the framework of the visit, for students of different faculties of the university, I conducted a workshop - "How to write an effective cover letter in English”. The aforementioned visit also allowed me to conduct a survey of students on the topic "Questionnaire of students' satisfaction on the quality of teaching and learning at home university" and to compare it with the practice of Georgian universities.”
Within the framework of the visit, Shorena Gogiashvili was hosted by UMCS applied linguistics professor Yaroslav Kraika and Alexandra Kroize-Kolodziei - humanities faculty professor at KUL. Shorena Gogiashvili's research program was implemented within the Polish government grant program- PROM.
