The Call for applications for the first Mediterranean Student Summit is open.
This initiative, jointly organised by UNIMED and the Erasmus Student Network (ESN), with the support of the University of Barcelona and the patronage of the Union for the Mediterranean, seeks to bring together Higher Education students from both shores of the Mediterranean to foster intercultural dialogue and work together on common challenges.
This first edition of the event will take place in the Mediterranean city of Barcelona on 2nd and 3rd November, 2022, gathering 40 students from UNIMED member universities and around 5 facilitators that will guide the discussions.
The content of the event will revolve around three interlinked themes:
● Improving intercultural dialogue and student-led internationalisation in the Mediterranean.
● The creation of a Mediterranean Erasmus Generation: how to connect the region through student mobility and international friendship.
● Building the University of the future in the Mediterranean.
Each university interested is required to send at least two students' candidatures for the final selection.
In order to arrange all logistical aspects (including visa procedures), UNIMED associates are kindly asked to send the candidatures by 11th September, 2022.
Moreover, by the same date, we kindly ask universities to fill in the form available here, in order to organise the event at best. This will allow us to understand if universities can sponsor their selected students and if they can also sponsor the participation of one student from the Southern Mediterranean.
