"The project aims to improve quality of higher education in the Field of Journalism Reporting and develop life-long learning skills for high-quality media reporting on SDGs and ICT-based data analysis of journalism and media students,journalists and analysts in Cambodia, Malaysia and China through the development of new curricula. It also enhances relevance of acquisition of better qualifications in the labour market by developing new and innovative journalism reporting courses for journalism students and active journalists and analysts. It aims to enrich the innovation capacities as well as the internationalisation of HEIs by promoting transnational cooperation in the field of media reporting on SDGs. It also promotes voluntary convergence with EU developments of curriculum development in the field of journalism and reporting in the higher education system through the sharing of best practices and know-how of the EU-HEIs. The outputs include a state-of-the-art report on needs analysis of Asian HEIs, ""Journalism Reporting on SDGs"" course program that will be incorporated in the HEIs relevant program, capacity building programs for academic staff, Online learning platform and creation of SDGs Research Units. Impact will be achieved in institution, national and transnational level through the proper dissemination and exploitation of the project's results and the participation of relevant stakeholders in the networking events."

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.

The project aims to address the shortcomings in higher education across Georgia and China by systematically engaging HEIs in new practices with a learner-centred focus. More specifically, the project aims to achieve this by building capacity at PC institutions for implementing learner-centred teaching, raising awareness about learner-centred learning in PC institutions and in society at large and creating a basis for cooperation through international network for exchange of experience.The consortium wishes to undertake this project to aid the partner countries in making a shift to learner-centred philosophy a reality. Behind the project several unsuccessful attempts of country-wide reforms stand.The project results will be used by the project participants, primarily from partner countries. At the university level it reaches out to partner universities, its academic and administrative staff. Partner universities, that will be involved in all the project activities aimed towards manual development, formation of CPD units, teacher and administrative staff training and exploitation of project results throughout the universities. At national level, other partner country universities will benefit from attending the interim and final conferences within the project aimed to inform the stakeholders about the project achievements and introduce them with the new manual on learner-centred approach. CPD units in each partner country university which will conduct regular workshops in learner-centred approach.At international level, Chinese and Georgian partners will profit from European partners’ expertise in developing partnerships for staff exchange that will promote continuous development of academic staff at partner countries.International network for exchange of experience will contribute to staff development.
