9am - 12am – Collaborative drafting of a common University Language Policy Charter

Based on discussions conducted during the first three phases of the symposium, the last phase will be devoted to drafting the Charter. The broad outlines will be set out during a collaborative, multilingual drafting session: working groups will be set up, including representatives from each partner university. Each group will determine the points that seem most important to highlight in the Charter, in relation to the accreditation certificate.
