From May 29 to June 7 we invited two of our SENA colleagues to Canada, Bibiana Pinto who is the campus manager of a training center in Cartagena + Juan Guillermo Carvajal who is the campus manager of a training center in Puerto Berrio. Both are leaders in our EFE program design between SENA and ACCC (Association of Canadian Community Colleges).
The conference was this year hosted by Okanagen College at their campus in Penticton, British Columbia. We all arrived on Friday May 30 together with EFE program representatives from Peru and Bolivia, as well as from Senegal, Mozambique, Tanzania and a few of the Caribbean countries.
On Saturday June 1 the international programs team of ACCC hosted a meeting between all their international guests and representatives of international education offices of member colleges. Presentations were given on new programs in Brasil, China, India and Bangladesh. All participants were encouraged to network and exchange experiences.
In addition to the smaller group session we attended a variety of plenary presentations and discussions from Canadian experts in education, journalists and government leaders.
On Monday June 3 we had a meeting on the EFE Andes with all the international visitors and the entire ACCC team. Plans were discussed for the program activities of the coming year and common topics, challenges and opportunities were brought to the table.
