Med2IH Consortium Meetings: a look back at flagship projects in the Euromed region

As part of the activities of the "Erasmus+, Capacity building in Higher Education (CBHE)" project held by the MED2IaH program The MEDiterranean countries: Towards Internationalisation at Home, the Université Euromed de Fès received a delegation composed of specialists and experts to review the project's roadmap and assess the key achievements of this program. Prof. Nada Trunk, a research professor and advisor at EMUNI "The Euro-mediterranean University of Slovenia" opened the workshop with a global presentation of the project.

An example of MED2IaH's initiatives is "The Student Boot Camp", a competition focusing on narrating an intercultural experience in video format, which targeted 34 students from the Euromed region: Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan. The best projects won a trip to Piran, Slovenia, to meet other students from: The Euromed University of Slovenia (EMUNI). Through this bootcamp, the selected students had the opportunity to attend in-depth modules on intercultural knowledge, innovation, leadership, creativity, and project management.

The MED2IaH project aims to anchor the concept of internationalisation at home in universities across nine countries of the Euro-Mediterranean region: Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Slovenia, Italy, Spain, and France.

From Morocco, the project involves the participation of three universities from the Fès-Meknès Region, namely the Université Euromed de Fès, Moulay Ismail University of Meknès, and Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, which are combining their efforts and knowledge to ensure the project's success and jointly promote the Euro-Mediterranean cultural heritage. Ultimately, the involvement of these three Moroccan universities, with the support of the Erasmus+ Morocco Office, should lead to the development and design of a tailored "Internationalisation at Home" model adapted to the Moroccan context.

This event was also intended for the teachers, students, and administrative staff of UEMF.
