UMAP Canada – Colombia Virtual Networking and Partnership Development Event

In collaboration with BCCIE, the UMAP Canada National Secretariat and Colombia National Secretariat are organizing a virtual networking and partnership development event for UMAP member institutions from both countries. At this event, the UMAP International Secretariat will present UMAP Canada Scholarship Program for 2023-24 and share best practices on how to utilize the scholarships. Following the presentation, there will be a virtual networking opportunity.

The objectives of this event are to facilitate a virtual networking session for faculty and/or staff members from UMAP Canada and Colombia to enhance knowledge about their institutions, program offerings (physical and virtual), and to strengthen the connection for future collaborative programming (field schools, COIL etc.)

Registration is required as spots are limited. If you are interested in attending this event, please complete the Expression of Interest form before September 14, 2023. This event is part of a partnership series BCCIE is hosting on Columbia’s education sector. Visit our event listings for more information.
