Erasmus Mundus Design Measures (EMDM) - EU–Africa Dialogues: From Shared Legacy Towards a Common Future:

From 12 to 14 June 2025, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” took part in the second inperson consortium meeting of the project “EU–Africa Dialogues: From Shared Legacy Towards a Common Future”, funded under the Erasmus+ Program through the Erasmus Mundus Design Measures (EMDM) call. The meeting was organized by the Mahatma Gandhi Institute (MGI) in partnership with the University of Mauritius (UoM) and brought together representatives from the partner institutions: Sofia University, the University of Glasgow, Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (UCAD), the Mahatma Gandhi Institute, and the University of Mauritius. The working sessions focused on strategic planning, academic content development, and preparation for the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) application in 2026. The consortium reviewed the progress on the expected outcomes of the EMDM project and jointly developed the academic and mobility structure for the future joint Master’s program in African Studies, “EU– Africa Dialogues: From Shared Legacy Towards a Common Future”. Key discussions addressed the relevance of the program in relation to labour market needs, student interest, and the strategic frameworks of EU–Africa cooperation, including the Africa–EU Partnership and the Global Gateway. A four-semester mobility model was outlined, combining interdisciplinary study areas with two language tracks (including a fully Francophone track) and opportunities for multiple degrees. Partner roles and responsibilities were clarified, and next steps for finalizing the EMJM application were agreed upon. Beyond the intensive working agenda, the meeting was enriched by the warm hospitality, care, and generous support of the Mauritian hosts. The Mahatma Gandhi Institute and the University of Mauritius not only created a welcoming and collegial working environment but also provided participants with unforgettable opportunities to immerse themselves in the rich and diverse life, culture, and history of the island. The event strengthened the spirit of partnership and reaffirmed the shared commitment to building a sustainable academic dialogue and bridge between Africa and Europe."
