Description:
Dr. Annaly Strauss and Ms. Tertisia Nghipondoka from the University of Namibia’s School of Education recently participated in an Erasmus+ exchange at the University of Primorska in Koper, Slovenia, during its International Week in April 2024. The visit focused on innovative multilingual teaching strategies, including creative tools like the “bus and atlas” concept to guide children through diverse languages and cultures. The exchange deepened their understanding of bilingual pedagogy and laid the groundwork for future collaboration, including a student exchange in 2025 and a joint webinar on “Ethics in Education Research.” Their experience blended academic enrichment with cultural exploration, reinforcing the value of cross-border educational partnerships.
