Some thoughts/reflexions inspiring the 3rd. Edition of the Conference
"Education is not a way to escape poverty - It is a way of fighting it." (Julius Nyerere, former President of the United Republic of Tanzania, at UNESCO's International Workshop on Education and Poverty Eradication)	“Our primary objective in Latin America is to contribute to the eradication of poverty by pursuing the Millennium Development Goals. The promotion of social cohesion, good governance,the respect of human rights, the rule of law, sustainable development and the creation of an EU-LA higher education area are also amongst other important objectives to be achieved. Moreover, in a world face with globalisation, regional integration has become a crucial process and needs to be fostered. In addition, it emphasizes shared values such as solidarity, equality, democracy and unity in diversity." (Benita Ferrero-Waldner, European Commissioner in charge of External Relations and European Neighbourhood Policy)
