About the project

SAAM is a pilot project funded by the European Commission with 4 million euros to promote the international mobility of students and professionals between Africa and Europe and thus improve youth employability and the quality of Vocational Training. It has promoted the establishment of mechanisms for the exchange of knowledge, training methodologies and skills between Europe and Africa.
SAAM aims to support the mobility of VET teachers and students across a range of disciplines. This alliance targets the development of new curricula, methodologies, technologies and management, and aims possible structures for the enhancement of mobilities between Africa and Europe using training job-shadowing and knowledge acquisition on internationalization, transparency tools and educational pathways. Along 40 months, 70 European teachers, 135 African teachers and more than 300 students will move between both continents!
