INTER-ALFA - intercultural education for and with Latin America

Project Objectives

This project is part of the EU-ALFA, a programme of co-operation between higher education institutions of the European Union and Latin America. Based on a proposal by the INTER project group for expansion of the 2002-2005 INTER project to Latin America, the work plan foresees a localisation of teacher training materials on intercultural education developed for Chile, Columbia, Ecuador and Mexico, starting in early 2007.

Project Objectives

Elaborate a proposal on Intercultural Education in the Euro-Latin-American post graduation level. A situation diagnosis (necessity analysis) of each country of the participant institutions will be made. This initial analysis will help us identify priority performance lines about our scope: post-graduation in intercultural education formation. This post-graduation will offer two modalities:
a) by attendance (in the participant institutions)
b) via distance (virtual learning community).

Objectives of the Network

The network has as a priority the generation of an Euro-Latin-American space of cooperation among the participant institutions. It also aims at the improvement of a formative offer of superior education in the scope of the intercultural Education, in both formal and non-formal dimensions. We intend to elaborate a program of formation at the level of university post-graduation from an analysis of the necessities of the participant institutions and thanks to their contributions. In order to reach this objective one must count on the valuable previous experience of cooperation carried out in previous projects (Comenius Program) in which most of the members that compose the network have been involved.
