Abstract

The Inter-University Experience Programme (PIE) of the University of Burgos (UBU), as a non-formal education programme for adults, has sought to expand opportunities for its students and staff through the development of international partnerships within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme. Taking into account the priorities of the Programme, such as inclusion and diversity, digital transformation, environment and climate change and participation in democratic life, a comprehensive KA122-ADU Adult Education Short-Term Mobility project has been articulated.
