BUILDING BRIDGES

 

This program offers university researchers and teachers the possibility of taking part in the production of lines of thought and of education on the following topics:

  • Migration, interculturality and ethnic conflict.
  • Poverty and development
  • Humanism and school
  • Human rights
  • International humanitarian assistance

The program is orientated to the construction of knowledge, from the perspective of an education for an interdependent world. It constitutes part of networks with universities, centers of investigation and organizations in the framework of the European Union.

 

Actions in progress:

  • EDIW actively participates in the Thematic Network on Humanitarian Development Studies (25931-CP-1-98-1-ES-ERASMUS-ETN), as a member since its foundation. As a partner in this network, it has contributed to reflections on intercultural training and to the development of tools for expatriate and other professionals employed in cultural contexts different from their own. (http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/socrates/tnp/96-themes.html)
  • Equally it has contributed to a perspective of advancement and growth of civil society in countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yusgoslavia and the Former Yugoslave Republic of Macedonia. Its participation is framed within the Tempus program.
  • EDIW coordinates the European Network on Intercultural Citizenship.
