Embracing Academic Relatability Reflecting on my recent experience in a new class structure under Global-MINDS.eu, I’ve come to appreciate a profound cultural shift in how academia operates here. It struck me that researchers and professors are not distant figures or untouchable idols. Instead, they are relatable colleagues who share their journeys, insights, and even personal anecdotes. In class, (particularly in amazing sessions with Prof.Christin-Melanie Vauclair and Prof.Ricardo Borges Rodrigues (he/him) I was pleasantly surprised to see professors displaying theorists' photos, affiliations, and favorite quotes. This practice not only humanizes them but also breaks down the barriers that often make researchers feel like distant “gods” in the academic world. The warmth with which they refer to theorists and researchers—almost as peers—makes a significant difference in how we engage with the material. It fosters an environment where collaboration and discussion thrive, rather than one where students feel overshadowed by an aura of superiority. This cultural difference is particularly striking to me, coming from a background where authority in academia is often portrayed with a sense of distance and hierarchy. Here, it feels more like a community, where everyone contributes to the conversation, regardless of their position. I am grateful for this experience, as it has not only reshaped my perception of what it means to be part of an academic environment but also reinforced the value of approaching education with humility and openness. Sharing some here, to encourage the ongoing applications!!! #StudyAbroad #AcademicCommunity #CulturalExchange #EducationReform #Gratitude #ErasmusMundus #GlobalMinds

On October 21st in Dundalk, Co Louth, and October 23rd in Navan, Co Meath, Cultur Migrant Centre hosted two Interagency Meetings! These gatherings brought together service providers, migrant and ethnic minority leaders, and local community members, all committed to creating positive change. In both sessions, I had the opportunity to present the Map of Migrant Integration—a resource highlighting key milestones and social profiles to support the contributions of our migrant communities. This map will play an important role in mapping out pathways and support networks for integration. A big thank you to Angel Marroquin for this opportunity and for leading insightful discussions on the pressing issues our communities face. Together, we’re working toward a more inclusive, vibrant future in Meath and Louth. I’m grateful for the chance to share my work and to everyone who invested their time, ideas, and energy into making these sessions impactful! 🤝💪 #CommunityBuilding #MigrantIntegration #InclusiveIreland #Interagency

So grateful for yet another training! It is critical to be trauma-informed before meeting survivors directly and working in care settings that require you to respond appropriately to trauma-affective reactions or emergencies that need your emotional first-aid knowledge to take precedence. Here, I got a chance to do that and much more 💕

Congrats to Humza Aslam, a student of our 2024-2026 cohort 🎊🥳

The learnings during the Global-MINDS programme can influence our students in many ways, and we love to see if they encourage our students to follow their passions and talents and to bring people together, for example, through music. Global-MINDS alumna Aigerim (Aika) Balkhashbayeva (cohort 2019-2021) shares her music under the name "Ashyqtyq".
