The Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), whose preparation is led by the University of Turku, Finland, play a central role in ReConnect China’s dissemination approach. The courses are open to everyone who wants to understand China’s development and EU-China relations. In particular, they are prepared for European students, but also civil servants, journalists, teachers and alike will benefit from taking them.
In a cross-cutting fashion, the MOOCs will refurbish the scientific and analytical outputs of the ReConnect project and prepare them as educational content suitable for integration into MOOC curricula.
