The iKUDU project is an international educational project aimed at fostering bridges between South African and European higher education institutions through virtual exchanges. More specifically, the project aims to develop a contextualized South African concept of 'Internationalization of the Curriculum (IoC) by integrating Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). In doing so, the overall goal is to contribute to the process of the decolonization of the curriculum. iKUDU is funded within the framework of the Erasmus+ KA2 Capacity Building in Higher Education program.
