The educational curriculum seems to not successfully match with the 21st century skills requirements.In order to develop a student-centered learning environment, cover successfully the needs of a growing diverse population of students in China, India and Cambodia with a variety of multi-cultural, multi-linguistics and multi-ability needs and respond to the gap in skills set in the labour market and society, shortage of qualified teachers and poor level of student learning this proposal aims at modernizing the academic curricula, transferring knowledge and best practices on innovative and ICT-based teaching methodology on 21st skills acquisition from HEIs in Programme Countries to the HEIs of Partner Countries that will be benefited directly from this project. The results include 21st century skills teaching state-of-the-art report, a 21st century skills Educational Programme that will be incorporated in the academic program, capacity-building sessions for Faculty staff and development of 21stTeachSkills e-toolbox and learning Platform. Impact will be generated in institution-level, regional level through dissemination activities and networking and European level with the supprt of the EU-HEIs.

The project covers the regional priority for Asia through curriculum development and Education. training and life-long learning. The project follows the EHEA vision that everyone has the right to quality and inclusive education, training and life-long learning in order to maintain and acquire skills that enable them to participate fully in society and manage successfully transitions in the labour market. The project integrates 3 courses in teacher training programs to foster democratic values, non-discrimination, gender equality as well as pedagogic tools to combat radicalism. We will also develop the professor in education. In order to impart the new knowledge the AURORA project needs to be sure that the teachers have the required skills, methodologies and competences to do so. It is important that not only they are able to deliver the message but also have the messenger able to do it.the AURORA centres will also help in disseminating the project and its outcomes to a wider population base. This is done because we don’t want to only affect the education system but the entire society. The knowledge we are trying to give: inclusiveness, democractic values, gender equality, fight against radicalism should not be only taught inside a classroom be in the “wild” with other people. The more exchange we have, the more democratic it will be and the more understanding people will be between each other.

Of all leading nations, India has the youngest population in the world where over 50 per cent of its population (total population over 1.3 billion) which is an estimated 470 million people are of working age, according to the National Sample Survey Office. Of this entire productive workforce about 45%of them are the female population. The female work force is highly underutilised as according to statistics, India currently ranks 70 out of 77 nations on the Female Entrepreneurship Index.Thus, the main objective of ENPRENDIA is to enhance entrepreneurial culture among female population in Indian HEIs while promoting gender equality and gender equity - not only inside the walls of academic institutions but also extending it to civil society and their local communities. Indian society is characterized by miscellany in caste, religion, languages, festivals, attire, economic status and location, among others. However, for various reasons the representation of various groups of the society in terms of participation within the higher education system has remained historically unequal. The emphasis laid on providing an equitable access to opportunities to female students representing various diversified groups is highlighted in ENPRENDIA.The main outputs will be to integrate gender equality policies and strategies within 8 HEIs in India.The project likewise will establish 8 Entrepreneurship Resource Centers (ERCs) with the goal of promoting entrepreneurship among female students, researchers and also bridging universities with local industry and civil society.One innovative aspect is the close cooperation with primary and secondary schools to promote science and entrepreneurship among children and young people.The impact of ENPRENDIA will be felt with the adoption of gender equality policies and equal opportunities by partner HEIs, by sustaining structures that connect universities with the business sector and by enhancing creative skills among young generations.
