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: Videos

Another way to participate in the meeting is to make a short video of the city where you are! It doesn't have to be a professional video, just something interesting you can do with your digital camera. You choose the theme!

If you're keen, please email me that I can send you the address where the CDs should be posted to.

General Meeting: Next steps

In order to continue with the arrangements for the meeting, it is very important that all participants contact me with the following details:

- Report or topic list on the pre-meeting sessions held in each city. Delegates, please contact me as soon as possible;
- Title of your project and time needed for presentation;
- Title and time needed for the seminars. If anyone is keen on participating, there's still time!
