In line with its commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (ensuring inclusive, equitable, and quality education, and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all), INFODEF participated in the Erasmus+ 2024 Week for Sub-Saharan Africa, held from March 25 to 27 in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Organized by the European Commission and the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), this event brought together Higher Education and Vocational Education and Training institutions from Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe, interested in the Erasmus+ program and establishing partnerships. INFODEF was present alongside other key players to promote digital education and international collaboration in the educational field.
During this week of promoting the Erasmus+ program for Sub-Saharan Africa, INFODEF had the opportunity to actively participate in discussions with relevant stakeholders, establish connections, and exchange views on the crucial role of digitalization in education. This event not only facilitated the exchange of good practices and experiences between educational institutions from both continents but also promoted inclusion and equity in education through international collaboration.
The central theme of digitalization in education highlighted how the digital transformation is shaping both the labor market and learning opportunities in a globalized environment. The presence of Erasmus+ National Focal Points, national agencies, and representatives of the European Union underscored the shared commitment to improving education and training in Sub-Saharan Africa through the Erasmus+ program.
By participating in this event, INFODEF takes another step in its commitment to strengthening international educational capacities and promoting equitable opportunities for all students and professionals in the training sector. We continue to contribute to global initiatives that foster quality education and sustainable development in collaboration with our European and African partners.
