LA HEI students EU support to Higher Education contributes to building the EU-LA Common Higher Education Area objective (set out for the first time by the Heads of State and Government of EU-LAC through the Declaration of Guadalajara in 2004, and reiterated during the successive EU-LAC Summits) is recognised as a strategic element for strengthening bilateral and multilateral relations between the two regions. Higher education institutions (HEIs) play a leading role as a driver of socio-economic development to overcome social inequality in Latin America by improving the quality of national education systems. We have written an entire proposal for such specific call on Supporting Higher Education in Latin America, and would like to submit under ERASMUS+ (call details to be published later this year, but to be submitted most likely in January-February 2018).

All other partners are already in place. You can send your expressions of interest to info[@]phoenixkm.eu for the [...]
Dear friends, colleagues, Wim Moeyaert (22 mei 1977 – 20 maart 2017) Some of you have worked in the past and maybe even today on a variety of inclusion projects and initiatives which were influenced or originally conceived and/or thought out by my expert-user friend Wim Moeyaert from Belgium. Some of you will have met Wim during one of our many events we organised together in Brussels, providing his expert insight and knowledge, willing to share it with anybody, bringing people together… even travelling abroad to share his expertise and experiences. My dear friend Wim is no longer, he died peacefully this afternoon, at the young age of 39. In his legacy, we must make sure that his spirit of striving for a full inclusive society continues to live on, everywhere, anywhere. With warmest thoughts to a real partner in crime.
