==========

 Co-led by [**Makerere University**](https://www.mak.ac.ug/) **(MAK**), **Kampala, Uganda** and [**Paris Lodron University Salzburg**](https://www.plus.ac.at/?lang=en) **(PLUS), Austria**, the Teaching Work Package (WP) stands out as it explores ways to accelerate learning on polycrisis.

The Teaching WP aims to craft a **cross-network Masters Degree on Polycrisis**, forming the basis for a corresponding application within the Erasmus Mundus programme as well as **short-term interdisciplinary programmes.** These educational programmes delineate the global and diverse crises, considering their variations across disciplines, timeframes, geographical regions, and languages. This will reinforce interdisciplinary teaching and training on Euro-African relations, extending across diverse departments within the network's members.
