About SAAM
SAAM is a project funded by the European Commission that aims to enhance Vocational Training through international mobility between Africa and Europe. The initiative is led by the San Viator Center (Bilbao, Spain) as the promoting entity, with Mundus (Zaragoza, Spain) serving as the coordinating organization.
In collaboration with 36 partner organizations from 16 African countries and 8 European countries, SAAM has successfully facilitated over 500 mobilities for students, teachers, and professionals in Vocational Training over the four-year duration of the project.
The primary objectives of this pilot project are to test the action of educational mobility between Africa and Europe, learn and enhance knowledge, exchange methodologies and best practices to enrich Vocational Training systems on both continents, and bring the two Vocational Training systems closer for future mobility projects. The three specializations in Vocational Training being tested for intercontinental mobility are engineering, tourism, and agriculture.
The work in SAAM marks a significant milestone in fostering global partnerships and advancing educational opportunities.
