The Digital Practices and Cultures
Space-Network project will have a mainstreaming effect on UNIA’s educational
activities, since in the medium term it will help to approach graduate
students in all its programmes to digital practices and cultures.
The Space-Network will be structured
based on the presence of a permanent group of consultants and experts
in different digital issues, which will work on enhancing it and will
build networks to achieve its objectives.
The Space-Network will take
cultural practices and cultures as its subject matter. This expert group
it will be responsible for programming educational activities and promoting
innovation processes in order to address specific aspects in this large
and emerging field of study from an interdisciplinary approach.
In order to meet its objectives
the project will produce and offer an annual programme of activities
designed as to address more precisely the most significant issues in
the field, positioning UNIA as a reference educational institution in
the field of digital culture, technological innovation and media literacy.
The ultimate purpose of all
these adjectives is to implement initiatives aimed at adapting UNIA’s
own activities to the demands of our current digital environment, in
terms of both teaching-learning and knowledge production processes promoted
by UNIA, and the internal dynamics of managing human groups and educational
resources and infrastructures.
Based on all the above, the
following general and long-term objectives have been established:
- Contributing to
adapt the university to the new social context in which digital technologies
are changing the production, exchange and dissemination of knowledge.
- Promoting a process
of permanent adaptation to rapid and constant changes as to the participation
structures operating in society.
- Disseminating the
conclusions of these reflection processes using means in line with the
new e-culture but also traditional channels.
- Linking UNIA to
other projects and institutions working in the same field and if possible,
establishing university collaboration networks and projects/programmes.
- Increasing and fostering
the development of digital competences and skills throughout the entire
UNIA community: students, teachers and support staff.
- Serving as a bridge
between the academic community, the world of business and work, and
particularly the new information and communication technologies industry,
in everything related to educational innovation processes.
