ALFA Academic Cooperation Program between the European
Union and Latin America. European Commission
Dates: march 2007- september 2009
Coordinators: Beatriz Malik (UNED) and Sergio
Téllez (Universidad Veracruzana)
Ref: II-0534-A
OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the ALFA
INTER project is to generate a space for Euro-Latin
American cooperation between participating institutions
and to improve the training available in higher education
in the sphere of Intercultural Education, in both its
formal and informal dimensions. The objective is to
prepare a training program at the university graduate
level, starting out from a needs analysis of the
partipating instutions, using these institutions’
contributions.
The specific objective is,
therefore, to design and prepare a proposal for training
at the Euro-Latin American university graduate level on
the subject of Intercultural Education. In order to
achieve this, a diagnosis has been made of the situation
(needs analysis) in each of the countries of the
participating institutions. This initial analysis will
allow us to identify priority lines of action in the
sphere we are dealing with: graduate training in
intercultural education. The graduate program designed
will offer two possibilities: a) in-person attendance (at
the participating institutions) and b) distance attendance
(an online learning community).
