Workshop 04
Decolonising North–South mobility: From theory to practice

European higher education institutions still struggle to make North–South mobility programmes truly reciprocal for their Global South partners. Despite promises on decolonisation, practice remains colonial: asymmetrical power relations persist, often still entrenched in an aid and superiority logic with adverse effects on development processes. This workshop will propose clear policy recommendations and provide content and structure with regards to pre-departure training and debriefing.
