摘要
This paper results from the second edition of an international intensive programme (IP) with the name "3 EYES - Intercultural Innovation Insight Workshop" held in Glasgow in February 2011. The project was sponsored by the European Lifelong Learning programme. Students from Portugal, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Finland and the United Kingdom were placed in multi-cultural teams of five. This IP project had as aims, to develop innovative practices both in business and in education, improve awareness of current European business practice, to provide a credit rated teaching course giving an intercultural experience raising awareness of the real issues when working internationally and thereby improve the quality of discourse, to improve relations between participating and to stimulate enhanced exchange possibilities. This workshop lasted for two weeks and was attended by six students from each country and from different areas of teaching. Each team had two product designers, one graphic designer, one financial and one marketing student. They were set the task to develop new product ideas for a local company and they had two weeks to do it. These intensive workshops comprised lectures and practice session as well as ideation sessions for the new product ideas. The research method used was a descriptive case study. In addition a questionnaire that integrated the Final Report for Students was used to ask students about motivation, information and support, accommodation and infrastructure, recognition, and evaluation of the IP. We hope to contribute to the understanding of the benefits of programs related with multidisciplinary and intercultural issues, providing the exchange of experiences among participants and reinforce the knowledge acquired throughout the academic life. Putting into practice the knowledge acquired is certainly an asset. This IP has put a challenge to all groups, which was to develop a product that could be produced in a factory in just two weeks. This paper reports on the reactions to the second edition of the programme, which were generally favourable, and the lessons learned, which will be apply to the third workshop to be held in Cyprus in February 2012.
