AMIDILA - Academic Mobility for Inclusive Development in Latin America
Date du début: 15 juil. 2013,

AMIDILA is a project that aims at building a solid mobility scheme for students, scholars and academic staff between Latin American and European universities under the framework of inclusive development. Inclusive development is the core of the proposal and must be seen from a two-fold perspective. On one hand, it is the methodology that will be adopted in AMIDILA project. Latin America and, above all, Central America, is the region of the world that shows the highest inequalities in the access to (higher) education and knowledge . Despite considerable improvements in enrolment rates in the last 20 years, higher education is still accessible to a limited group of population and, even when possible, only a limited portion of students may afford to study abroad. This scenario is reflected also in AMIDILA context. Therefore, principles that characterise inclusive development such as participation, non-discrimination and creating opportunities will be assumed by AMIDILA mobility scheme that will aim at offering equal access and participation to all partners, with special focus on students from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador that are traditionally the 4 countries with the weakest mobility rates at university level; and students that are in particularly vulnerable situations.But inclusive development is also the main topic that will characterise most of the mobilities implemented within AMIDILA. Inclusive development is an interdisciplinary approach that involves social sciences studies but, in the case of countries participating to AMIDILA, inclusive development requires also deeper knowledge on those contexts that may foster the inclusion of a larger portion of the population into economic and social life: protection on environment, renewable energies, sustainable infrastructural development. AMIDILA partners offer good opportunities on these fields and are willing, through mobilities, to exchange knowledge and to contribute to increase understaning.
