Following the conclusions of the Second Interregional Dialogue on Education and Development between Africa, Latin America, and Europe, the organizing institutions launched a collaborative roadmap to co-develop the agenda for the upcoming meeting in Bogotá.

This roadmap includes open preparatory workshops and activities, as well as participation in regional and multilateral political dialogue spaces. It not only consolidates a platform for exchange among governments, universities, academic networks, the private sector, and other key stakeholders, but also ensures that the agenda of the Third Dialogue reflects the political priorities of the participating regions.

Engagement in policy spaces

The organizing institutions of the Third Dialogue — Obreal, the Government of Colombia, the African Union, ASCUN, and AAU — are actively engaged in public policy discussions, both bilaterally and through intergovernmental forums and inter-university platforms. These spaces bring together representatives from the higher education sectors of Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe.

These engagements are essential to gathering strategic input and aligning the Dialogue’s agenda with the educational, political, and development priorities of the regions involved.
