This month, between September 17-19, the 9th Annual Forum of Partners of the consortium for the formation of advanced research in Africa, CARTA (for its acronym in English) will be held. This meeting will be held in Nigeria and will be held specifically at the University of Obafemi Awolowo University.
The director of ESEO, Soledad Falabella, will attend this meeting as a member of the CARTA university consortium. There will be presented the new advances in relation to the reading and writing programs that will begin to be implemented in Chile.
This is an annual meeting in which all institutions that are part of the Charter Consortium participate (www.carta.org). Academic directors and vice-rectors, teachers and professors representing CARTA, members of the donor organizations will attend to coordinate the policies and actions that will orient the development of the consortium.
“Personally, I travel with great enthusiasm because it is a great opportunity to reconnect with appreciated colleagues and revitalize our participation. Especially this year we will present the advances we have had in relation to: my integration in the University of Chile and the possibility of south-south collaboration between Chile and Africa. And 2. The positive results of the methodological changes that we implemented in the academic reading and writing program for the doctorate that ESEO does for the letter scholars. We made these changes within the framework of the systematization project of the results of our experience with the ESEO methodology in the CARTA program. We will show how we vary the methodology to have a system to evaluate the progress of each intern and fellow, in order to strengthen their teaching-learning process. We will also show the resources that we have been able to create from the systematization.
I hope that the trip is fruitful and that soon we can do more collaborative actions South-South with African universities “, were the words of Soledad regarding the meeting.
