[LA-OLE] Rural Areas, Native Nations proposals, forms

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

Technical University of Oruro (UTO) has several Rural Locations in the 
towns of Curahuara of Carangas, Qaqachacas Orinoca, in the department of 
Oruro, Plurinational State of Bolivia. These are areas of very low Human 
Development Indices, and peopled mostly by the Quechua and Aymara 
Indigenous Nations.

The access of young people in this area have to higher education and 
their success in it face many limitations, many of them directly or 
indirectly related to poverty.
For example:

    * Low level and quality of pre-university training.
    * Low registration, for numerous reasons, including that there is
      little motivation or expectation of working in the area of your
      profession.
    * High dropout rates, often not only because of their lack of
      integration to the requirements of higher education, but by the
      necessity of having to immediately enter the labour market because
      of serious family needs.
    * Lack of educational materials in their own language, lack of
      trained teachers to teach in the languages of native peoples
    * High cost of educational materials, which are usually completely
      out of context to their specific needs and reality.
    * Little chance of entering the labour market maintaining the link
      with their land of origin and their Native nation.
    * Other conditions of marginalization of economic and political life.


We appreciate that this complex situation is common in other Latin 
American countries, and even in Europe as being the case among migrant 
populations.

For all the foregoing, the UTO want, along with your Institution of 
Higher Education and with support for this project by the European Union 
through the Programme Alpha 3, want to address:


      Specific actions



1. fully assess the problem, in Bolivia and other countries 
participating in this initiative, and define optimal strategies to 
confront it
2. implement strategies in a permanent cycle of preparation, 
implementation, documentation, and evaluation and  permanent sharing, 
through Open content, that allows copying, adaptation, and distribution 
by others without specific authorization needed, keeping the attribution 
of the authors (CC at).
3. evaluate what was done, and give a maximum dissemination of the 
results for implementation and replication of what is shared so similar 
institutions of Latin America can benefit from it, and even in other 
parts of the world.


      Partners are expected to



* Coordinate their involvement with UTO in relation to specific actions 
that they will carry out locally (in your country, area, region)
* Participate locally (and / or in Latin America, in the case of Members 
of the European Union) in each project phase
* Participate in international events organized by the UTO to exchange 
experiences
* Regularly and using virtual collaboration tools, contribute their 
experience and knowledge.
* Refer to UTO the receipts for expenses made under the project, to 
thereby enable it to issue payments worth 80% of what was spent.

"Colaboradores" may participate, but can not receive funds except for 
participation in international and regional events


      We now have the following Partners and Institutions interested in
      participating



    * UTO  Technological University of Oruro, Bolivia (Participant)
    * III International Institute of Integration of the Andrés Bello,
      Bolivia (Partner)
    * Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy (interested)
    * Pedagogical University Experimental Libertador, Venezuela
      (interested)
    * University of Pinar del Río, Cuba (interested)

      "Lots"


Please find enclosed the forms of participation. If yours is an 
institution of higher education (IHE), you can choose to be partner in 
both Lots. If not, you may only choose to participate in Lot 2, but may 
be an organization that cooperates ("Colaborador") in Lot 1.

Lot 1 has an inter-institutional university profile, with specific 
actions including the development of courses and similar activities in 
IHEs participants, specifically around the theme of Rural branches of 
IHE, which of course usually includes students and teachers of Native 
Nations

Lot 2 has a profile towards analysis and exchange of experiences around 
the theme of access and success of Indigenous students in Higher Education

As shown, both proposals are complementary but have each a unique 
character.

We would suggest you sign up for both, since at this time of course we 
do not know which of these proposals will receive funding from the Alpha 
3 Programme of the European Unio. EU rules allow you to participate in 
several projects as a Partner.
