The Duale Hochschule Baden Württemberg Mannheim (DHBW) in Germany, in partnership with Canadian University Dubai (CUD), collaborate to advance their international student exchange projects. The projects promote and advance integrated academic studies within industrial workplace programs. The International Logistics Project (ILP) is sponsored by the European Union. The students have coordinated and participated in several creative fundraising initiatives to support these international project exchanges.
The ILP initiatives have taken place over 5 phases since 2019. A brief recap:
- The first phase of the ILP took place in March 2019 in Dubai, UAE. Participants included 12 students and 2 academics from each university. Watch the documentary produced at the time.
- In the second phase, November 2019, a team of 13 CUD students and 2 professors travelled to Germany.
- ILP’s third phase took place in Dubai, UAE, 23 February – 1 March 2020 with students and faculty from each university participating.
- During phase four, the team from DHBW in Germany joined 12 CUD students in Dubai, together with CUD’s academics, Dr Farooq Haq, Dr Samar Noaman, and Ms. Nora Barson. Activities included visits to the popular event of EXPO 2020, Al Nabooda Motors to study Logistics and Management in practice, and a networking dinner cruise in Dubai Marina.
Amid the most recent phase five, the DHBW team from Germany visited Dubai, UAE. The most recent momentous event was the fundraiser on October 6, 2022: The Gaming Day. The international students arranged a successful gaming event at CUD for all CUD students. The games included FIFA Soccer 2022, CHESS, MARIOKART, Table Tennis and Billiards. In addition, the CUD ILP students instituted a series of fundraising activities to support their trip to Germany – including two movie nights and two food stalls at CUD’s vibrant campus.
On October 12, 2022, 40 students from the University of Biberach, Germany joined the ILP seminar – and this team of professors and students plan to visit CUD for further academic engagements.
