Goldsmiths is a diverse institution with a clear international ethos. Our strategic plan includes a commitment to strengthen international relationships and profile and an ambition to build a global community on campus and support students to be global citizens equipped with the necessary skills and expertise to succeed internationally. The activity delivered as part of this KA107 project helped us to continue to make progress against key objectives in this strategic plan including:1) Embedding study and work abroad across Goldsmiths supporting students from any department to access international experience in particular Education and Psychology where there are limited opportunities for mobility.2) Doubling the students studying and working abroad by 2023 – the Tomsk State University (TSU) traineeships helped us towards a 90% increase in students going abroad3) Increasing students from a widening participation (WP) gaining an international experience – 17/25 outgoing students met one of our WP criteria.4) Skills development for our students – clear evidence of this reported by studentsThe activity also supported our pledge to be part of the UK’s Go international: Stand Out campaign to increase the number of students at UK institutions studying or working abroad.Our 2018 KA107 project has been mixed. We strengthened existing partnerships with Fujian Normal University (FNU) and TSU exchanging good numbers of participants but the impact of Covid-19 disrupted almost all of our planned activity with the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA).73 students and staff took part with 29 students and 9 staff coming to Goldsmiths and 25 students and 10 staff going abroad. Although we did not meet our planned numbers due to the impact of Covid-19, we are delighted with the numbers achieved in particular the total placements with TSU. In general feedback from participants is positive. 90% of students and 80% of staff who participated were very or rather satisfied with their experience. 100% of those coming to Goldsmiths were satisfied which is particularly impressive given the impact of the strikes and Covid-19. The majority of feedback on programme delivery and support is also positive. Satisfaction levels of students and staff are high in areas such as academic support received and guidance on accommodation, visas and insurance. There were some concerns around equal treatment of outgoing students and quality of accommodation. We have taken these on board and implemented improvements for future years. Feedback on our partner institutions is mainly positive too. In general this demonstrates that we and our partners are providing impactful experiences which is testament to all the hard work undertaken by staff across different teams in the universities involved.There are some areas of negative feedback which we need to work hard to resolve in the future. Some students reported issues with programme planning and delivery. There were also reports of racial microaggressions and one student not feeling comfortable disclosing their sexuality. Two staff members had a negative experience. We have taken all these concerns seriously, have gathered feedback and reviewed the activity carefully and produced a set of recommendations which we are already implementing.These Erasmus placements enhanced student experience and learning in numerous ways. Outgoing students developed their skills and employability including independent learning, teamwork and intercultural appreciation. Incoming students also reported improvements in managing challenging situations. Over 85% of participants strongly agreed or rather agreed that their chances of getting a new or better job had increased after the experience which is fantastic. Staff also clearly benefited from the experience developing their skills and in particular developing new learning practices or teaching methods and reinforcing and extending their professional networks. Institutionally, staff exchanges enriched important teaching and collaboration in areas such as Early Years Education, English as a Lingua Franca and a range of topics in Psychology e.g. the legal implications of genetic research and linguistics. Participants have worked hard to disseminate information about their experiences through internal staff and student meetings, external events and via local and national networks.Erasmus continues to benefit Goldsmiths and our partners at an institutional level. We have all strengthened our partnerships and collaboration, reinforced ongoing academic work and research, developed expertise in student and staff mobility and increased opportunities for mobility as well as internationalising our campuses. We have also learnt a lot in particular in relation to project management and participant support. Lessons learnt have already been implemented in our ongoing Erasmus projects. We hope to be able to transition these partnerships into new relationships post Erasmus.
