Erasmus Mundus Meet and Connect brings international students at Iscte

The event, which took place on 16 October and brought together around 45 students from the Erasmus Mundus Master’s programmes HumanResponse, Global-MINDS and MAGMa, aimed primarily to create a space for Erasmus Mundus students to exchange experiences, whilst also helping to raise the profile of these programmes and lay the foundations for an active community of students and alumni.

Throughout the meeting, various interactive and collaborative activities were organized, including:

Living Map

an icebreaker activity that highlighted the students’ geographical diversity, showcasing their origins and international backgrounds.

Passport

students filled in a passport, identifying classmates who matched the questions provided, thereby strengthening unity and a sense of community amongst the students.

Tour

students were divided into groups and, with the support of a member of AEIscte, were shown different locations near Iscte where students usually gather.

Informal lunch

at the end of the event, an informal lunch was held, where students had the opportunity to strengthen the bonds they had formed and establish new networks.

The 3rd edition of the Meet&Connect event was organised by the International Relations Office, reinforcing its commitment to internationalisation and student integration, and benefited from the invaluable collaboration of the Iscte Students’ Association, which helped to run the activities and organised lunch for the students.

We would like to thank all participants for their enthusiasm and contribution to the success of the event.

The Erasmus Mundus Master’s programmes are funded by the European Commission.
