Learning across Borders in Teacher Education: Experiences with the Swiss-North African Academic Network (SINAN) Project (DOKinsight, Vol. 2)

Excerpt from the introduction

«Early in the morning of March 7 2020, a group of Swiss participants and the project team of the Swiss-North African Academic Network (SINAN) waited at the gates at Zurich airport. They were excited as they embarked on a journey to Egypt to attend the third SINAN network meeting. It was a flight with a stopover in Vienna and the group was already making plans for dinner in Cairo. The project team had spent weeks preparing this network meeting together with the SINAN-coordinators in Egypt. The group also discussed the increasing number of Covid-19 patients, although the disease and its consequences for the group were still something which they were only just hearing about through the media.» [6]
