Erasmus in Sardinia

• Multicultural and Multilingualism community

• Diversity enhancement

• Welcome and inclusive culture

• Spread and continuous tutoring and orientation

• Enhancement of students associations

• Synergies among university, productive system, institutions, knowledge and skills of trainees comingfrom different culture and realties

• These synergies become a virtuous circle improving allthe participants and activities

What happens with the partner Countries of the Mediterranean area?

• Even if our University in 2014 extended the Erasmus+ mobility reciprocity provisions to the Universities of North-Africa and Middle East participating to the UNIMED and EMUNI networks

• Different systems of higher education

• Resources availability

• Difficulties with visa and residence visa

• Language

Very few students mobilities from-toNorth-Africa and Middle East

That we have done was necessary but isnot enough!

• Difficulties to built integrated courses and to find resources

• 30 students from Maghreb will attend the whole courses in our University, thank to the project Sardinia Formed with the contribution of UNIMED and Banco di SardegnaFoundation

• Mediterranean Erasmus funds would have to face withdifferent systems of higher education which are notintegrated and sometimes very different

• Enhancement of the Erasmus+ actions focusing mainly on mobility for study

P r o p o s a l s

Traineeship grants could allow to start soon within UNIMED network Universities asking for funds from EU

Stimulate and found a network of students associationsunder the UNIMED auspices

following UNIMED Student Forum - Istanbul, July 2012

Bilateral Agreement at least for Traineeship within UNIMED associate/partner Universities

Flexibility, adaptability, shorter duration, integration with the productive tissue

Language courses (Arabic) in the North-side Countries

Thanks!
