Each semester scholarships are awarded to talented students to contribute to the cost of living in Venice for a semester, to promote excellence and diversity in the Globalization Program.
The scholarships are equivalent to the cost of accommodation in the apartments arranged by VIU (€1,625), but will be paid directly to the students, who may choose to spend it on the accommodation that best suits their needs.
The scholarship recipient is expected to actively contribute to the following co-curricular activities:
- organization of the Tea2B, informal conversations on key topics that involve students, professors and staff taking place every Monday at 5 pm
- contributing to the Globalization Program plenary workshop and VIUCommunity platform
The Globalization Program plenary workshop is an interdisciplinary endeavor involving many of the GP professors. Over several weeks, the professors work with groups of students from their courses on a common topic, approaching it based on their (inter)-disciplinary backgrounds.
The workshop takes place on a Friday during the semester, when the groups present their work on the common topic. The presentations may take any form - creativity is encouraged: presentations, video-clips, interviews, debates, theater, music or dance performances.
The RED (Residency-Excellence-Diversity) scholarship recipient is expected to participate in the Globalization Program plenary workshop, and to collaborate in the editorial team, under the guidance of Prof. Luca Pes, selecting materials from the participants, documenting the work of the workshop, editing contributions and writing articles for the VIU website. The recipient is also expected to post follow-ups on the Tea2B meetings and share articles that might be of interest for other students on the VIUCommunity online platform.
