CHINLONE METHODOLOGY

FROM THE GAME TO THE PROJECT As in a Chinlone match, the project does not aim at creating competition among different Universities: its task is to make institutions work together for a shared goal. Virtuous sharing of competences, experiences, and knowledge between EU and Myanmar partners. Multi-level project, working on University Management + Teaching + International Relations. Including all actors in the process of University modernization: university governance representatives, faculty members, staff, and above all students – in a harmonious and integrated way, as in a Chinlone match. Civil society as final beneficiary of the project.
