Erasmus+ CirculEC: Karaganda University of Kazpotrebsoyuz in Naples

From 10–12 September, the final international meeting of the Erasmus+ CirculEC project brought together partners from Europe and Central Asia in Naples.

Together, we reviewed the results of piloting new and adapted courses and discussed how to further strengthen their practical dimension - particularly Module 2, developed by the University of Naples Federico II.

A special highlight was our visit to Bagnoli, a former industrial area undergoing an ambitious green transformation. The KarUK team saw first-hand how environmental regeneration, industrial heritage, and new social and economic opportunities can come together to create a more sustainable future.

The experience gained in Bagnoli will help enrich Module 2 with real-world case studies and bring the principles of the circular economy closer to practice.

At the final meeting, KarUK presented the results achieved across all project work packages and discussed the long-term sustainability of the project outcomes.

From educational innovation to real-world sustainable development.

International Round Table “Gender Agenda in Migration” within the framework of the project “Gender Aspects of External Migration and Adaptation of Migrants in Kazakhstan” (Grant No. AR26103509)

International Round Table “Gender Agenda in Migration” within the framework of the project “Gender Aspects of External Migration and Adaptation of Migrants in Kazakhstan” (Grant No. AR26103509)

An international round table titled “Gender Agenda in Migration” was held at Karaganda University of Kazpotrebsoyuz.

The meeting took place within the framework of the research project under grant No. AR26103509 “Gender Aspects of External Migration and Adaptation of Migrants in Kazakhstan,” funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The round table brought together experts from various countries—from Portugal and Germany, Latvia and Ukraine to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan—to discuss tectonic shifts in migration processes in Central Asia. Special appreciation is extended to our speakers—Elena Chukurna, representatives of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the BOMCA Programme—for practical case studies and in-depth analysis of the situation at the borders.

 It is particularly valuable that this project not only identifies problems but also seeks growth points: how women’s entrepreneurship in rural tourism and digital transformation can turn forced migration into conscious talent mobility. The logical conclusion of this discussion was a look into a “green” future: how the principles of the circular economy open new niches for women in sustainable business.
