Welcome

This blog was created as part of the Erasmus Mundus Crossways in Cultural Narratives Masters programme, which is the only one of the EU approved and funded Erasmus Mundus Masters programmes to specialise in traditional humanities with a modern languages background. The Crossways Consortium comprises 6 top-class European universities.

For further information, please check the programme's official website and the universities' websites on the Useful Links section on the left. If you wish to have a specific question answered, please click on Email here and submit your query.

Mundus students, here you will find regular posts regarding the universities of the consortium, tips, activities, events, pictures, etc. Apart from checking it regularly to keep yourself up to date, a good way to use the blog is through the search device. We already have a significant amount of information on some universities of the consortium, so if you want to find information on a specific city, type its name in the search field (top left). You will then see all posts related to that specific city (because each post title contains the city's name in it). You can also type "General" in order to find information concerning everybody.

General Meeting 2008: Participants

Dear GM participants,

First of all, thank you for your participation! I am happy to say that, for the first edition of the Crossways General Meeting, we are 27 participants from all universities of the consortium except Santiago.

ACCOMMODATION - we did get funding for the two nights of accommodation. However, this has left us almost no money for the photo exhibition or dinner arrangements. So, if wrote on the registration form that you needed to stay in a hostel but are not yet sure if you're coming or not, please let us know NOW. Because you don't manage to go, we will use this money towards the other events of the meeting.

PHOTO EXHIBITION - Please spread the word about it, because even students who are not going can participate! Please check the blog for the procedure on how to participate in the next few days.

DELEGATES - The confirmed delegates so far are:

Perpignan - Poonam (and perhaps Maria?)
St Andrews - Delphine M
Tübingen - Lisda
Sheffield - Anna

Still waiting for delegates from Bergamo and Lisbon. Any volunteers?

The delegates' responsibilities are 
i) organise a meeting with all students (and eventual alumni) in the city where they are 
ii) prepare an agenda for the meeting to get the discussion going
iii) send me a report or list of issues AND suggested solutions discussed

It would be cool if we could have the reports as soon as possbile - the meeting is in only 5 weeks!
