Successful visit to Cadiz in June: delegation from the department establishes closer collaboration with the University of Cadiz
In the framework of the Erasmus+ AngoSAP Capacity Building among Higher Education Institutions (CBHE) project (https://www.angosap.org/es), a project co-funded by the European Commission, coordinated by the University of Cadiz (Spain) and involving several Angolan universities (Namibe University, Lueij A'Nkonde University, University Institution of Angola, Higher Pedagogical School of Bié and Oscar Ribas University in Luanda) and the Faculty of Social Work of RUAS, a joint conference was held in Spain in June. Representatives of the department attended the project meeting and successfully used the visit to the prestigious university in southern Spain to explore and initiate new possibilities for cooperation.
The Erasmus+ capacity building project AngoSAP aims to enable Angolan universities to benefit from the accumulated experience and good practices in the creation of psychosocial and psycho-pedagogical counselling centres already established at the University of Cadiz (Spain). In addition, within the framework of the project, the universities receive infrastructural and technical support to achieve the objectives set out in the framework of the project: The creation of Psychological and Psychoeducational Diagnosis and Orientation Centres (CDOP) in Angolan Universities. The Faculty of Social Work contributes to the project especially with its expertise in social space and community oriented approaches.
In addition to the constructive exchange between all participants, in which both the already achieved project goals and the next steps and milestones were discussed, an Erasmus cooperation between the University of Cadiz (Faculty of Labour Sciences) and the Faculty of Social Work could be established. From now on, students of the Faculty of Social Work have the possibility to spend a semester abroad with the support of Erasmus in the attractive Andalusian city of Cadiz, provided they have the necessary language skills.
