COVENTRY University is reshaping the learning experience of students through a global group of companies.
By collaborating international learning in higher education, five universities from South Africa and five from Europe, the iKudu project has developed tailored curriculum practices.
The practices will fit the social and educational environment for all 10 participating universities.
The project has already exceeded its starting goals, delivering a new way of learning that decentres dominant Western attitudes.
Professor Katherine Wimpenny, leading the shcme from the Research Centre for Global Learning at Coventry University said: “Our goal is to prepare students not just for their professions but for their roles as informed, responsible global citizens.
“By bringing diverse perspectives into the classroom, we are breaking down barriers and fostering greater understanding and co-operation among students from different parts of the world.”
As one of the few externally funded capacity-building projects co-funded by the European Union, within the framework of the Erasmus + Programme, recognised in the global higher education discourse, the scheme brings new voices to the table with respect for diversity.
