O2 Report of data collection of good practices and teaching/ learning cross- border cooperation on Danube SMCs for transferring research and innovation in continuing education
The Danube is the most international river in the world. It crosses Europe from the Black Forest to the Black Sea, passing through ten countries on its nearly 3,000-kilometre journey: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Moldova, all of them Danube countries in different ways.
Currently, almost 40% of the Danube’s total length is a border river. After the German-speaking (German and Austrian) upper parts, the mixing of cultures and languages intensifies. Most of the cities along the river are intercultural, and the two banks opposite each other are home to similar or characteristically different cultures and languages. In the past, multilingualism was a given necessity and opportunity here. But the language is the culture itself. That is why local languages still have and will always have an important role along the Danube. Obviously, everyone expresses themselves more nuanced in their native language, and in this part of Europe, most locals do not understand English. Local university teachers and researchers have a dual responsibility: to preserve, transmit, and develop knowledge based on local culture and language, but at the same time, to integrate it directly into the international teaching and learning process, into the international scientific and professional discourse.
The O2 is a book and an open access digital publication of good practices and teaching learning on Danubian SMCs published in six languages - English, German, Slovak, Hungarian, Serbian, and Romanian. In this way it can provide local and long-term dissemination of the project all along the Danube River.
