The Department of Law of Epoka University successfully participated in the Exchange-4-All (E4A) Blended Mobility Programme, organised in cooperation with its partner, Leiden University of Applied Sciences (LUAS), the Netherlands. The programme combined six weeks of online collaboration (April–June 2026) with a physical mobility week in Leiden from 29 June to 3 July 2026, providing students and academic staff with a dynamic international learning experience.

Developed under the CREATHON framework - Collaborate, Innovate, Demonstrate - the programme brought together participants from Albania, Georgia, Nigeria, Palestine, and the Netherlands. Through this blended mobility format, students and lecturers collaborated across borders and strengthened their intercultural, professional, and teamwork competencies. The initiative reflects Epoka University's ongoing commitment to internationalisation, innovative education, and expanding global learning opportunities for its students.

The Department of Law was represented by students: Vesa Muka, Kejsa Alushllari, and Ines Deçolli, accompanied by Dr. Alba Gerdeci as the Creathon coach. Prior to the mobility week, the students successfully completed a six-week online programme facilitated by Carlo Bakker (LUAS), an international team of coaches, and the Epoka University coach, preparing them for intensive international collaboration in Leiden.

During the Dialogue Week , participants worked through the three stages of the CREATHON framework:

• Collaborated by exchanging ideas and experiences with students, academics, and stakeholders from different countries.
• Innovated by co-creating solutions for the future of blended mobility, virtual teamwork, and international work-based learning.
• Demonstrated their projects by presenting the outcomes of weeks of international collaboration and co-creation.

The Department of Law extends its sincere appreciation to Carlo Bakker, Tanja van den Berge, and the entire LUAS team for their excellent coordination, warm hospitality, and dedication to the success of the programme. Special thanks are also extended to Romario Shehu of IDM Albania for sharing his valuable expertise and contributing to the discussions.

The successful participation in the Exchange-4-All programme further strengthens Epoka University's international partnerships and demonstrates the value of blended mobility in preparing students for an increasingly interconnected global environment.
