WALADU - Development and Structuring of BA Courses in Archaeology in Iraq

KA2 Capacity building in the field of higher education; 2016-2019

The WALADU project aims to improve the higher education (HE) in the field of the Humanities and increase students' opportunities in the Iraqi labour market. The Consortium will work in line with a shared and EU-aligned roadmap in order to develop and modernize the Iraqi HEIs in the fields of archaeology and history at BA level. It will foster long-term international collaborations between Iraqi and EU HEIs to allow students and academics to grow up in an international environment.

The general structure of the project is a combination of research and practical activities starting from an analysis of problems and needs in Iraqi HEIs, as well as the identification of local stakeholders. Thanks to the definition of an efficient Training System Methodology and training activities, Iraqi teachers, researchers and administrative staff will improve their competencies.

The project will develop and implement new teaching units and materials for the new BA courses and make them available on the WALADU and Iraqi HEIs websites. WALADU will also provide universities with libraries (WALib) and laboratories (WALab) equipped with advanced technical facilities which will support BA students’ education.
