The Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Educational Research is organising a Summer School for students enrolled in its EU-funded international Masters in Education Policies for Global Development (GLOBED). The Masters, which is offered jointly with the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the University of Oslo, and in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam, regularly attracts over 200 applicants from around the world.
Only 20 students are chosen, with around one third benefiting from an ERASMUS+ scholarship. The current cohort, with students hailing from 18 different countries, will be participating in a Summer School in Malta between 30 May and 3 June, and will be focusing on the challenges of providing education to migrants and refugees from the global South.
Students graduating from this programme aspire to work with international aid agencies, such as UNICEF and Save the Children. The Summer School will also prepare them to mobilise research tools that enhance transformative practice in the contexts they will be employed in.
