Kenyatta University Secures Erasmus (+CBHE Grant)

Kenyatta University has been awarded a significant grant of 719,939 euros from the European Union under the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) program.
This grant, coordinated by the Department of Educational Communication & Technology at Kenyatta University’s School of Education & Lifelong Learning, involves a consortium of six partners from Kenya, Somalia, Turkey, and Poland.

Led by Dr. Adelheid Marie Bwire, the project coordinator, the consortium aims to implement the Inclusive and Innovative Digital Education for Migrant Community in Kenya and Somalia (IIDEMIC) project. The project focuses on enhancing employability through the use of soft skills, fostering inclusive and innovative digital tools for interaction, and integrating 21st-century skills into teacher practice.

The project aligns with global efforts to enhance software and capacity building to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It emphasizes the importance of quality teacher education programs that meet global standards, including 21st-century skills in education and Agenda 2063.

The project will collaborate with the Kenya Institute of Special Education and Kenyatta University Directorate of Disabilities to create and implement resource centers for migrants and refugees with special needs and disabilities.
