Networking and COIL opportunity for Canadian Mexican and US members

AMPEI, the Mexican Association for International Education,  fosters international education among Higher Education Institutions. Since 2020, AMPEI-COIL has worked with universities from Mexico and the United States to implement the COIL methodology sponsored by the US Embassies in Mexico and Canada.

Canadian, Mexican, and US UMAP members are invited to be part of this trilateral program. 

AMPEI offers:

  • opportunities to detect potential COIL teaching partners through the Academic Speed Dating sessions and the AMPEI -COIL partnership platform (coil.ampei.org.mx),
  • training workshops on the COIL methodology fundamentals, and support for the design of the COlL syllabus. Our workshops include online access to educational materials and a weekly live session with the instructor.
  • coaching during the implementation of the COL component by experienced COIL mentors, and
  • the opportunity to apply for a mobility grant at the end of the COIL experience on a competitive basis.

The final dates for the Academic Speed Dating Sessions  will be in May and June. The next session will be on May 10th at 11 am (Mexico City time). Register here: https://forms.gle/mekg8VFRVmhPKpkW6.
