Sammendrag

Beyond Borders is a collaborative project developed through a joint effort between education and research institutions in Tanzania, Norway, the UK, and Italy, alongside communities from Tanzania and Sinai. Launched in 2024, the initiative was spearheaded by Camilla Haule (Horizon Award, Wells Cathedral School) and brought to fruition through the coordination of Agnes Haule (Tanzania), Ladslaus Bigambo Masakula, the kindergarten teachers group (NEMCA), Margherita Paola Poto, Carolina Sarti (ECOCARE), Pietro Parola, Valentina Russo (Mucho Amor), Dana Ahmed, Claudia D'Andrea, Faezeh Karimpour, and the communities of the Verdis Vocational School in Mbeya. The project unfolded in three key phases: (1) Project inception and ideation led by Camilla Haule during the Summer Semester of 2024; (2) Development of research and teaching materials, coordinated by Carolina Sarti in the Spring Semester of 2025; (3) Implementation in the Ruvuma Region, carried out in the Summer Semester of 2025. This report describes and assesses the relevance of the activities conducted by the Beyond Borders team during the Summer Semester 2025, focusing on fieldwork in the Ruvuma Region, Tanzania, and particularly in the municipality of Songea. The Beyond Borders Initiative is part of a larger effort to foster meaningful partnerships and expand educational opportunities through direct engagement with local communities. It is also a deliverable of the SDG Ocean Action Commitment: Ocean for All: Reimagining Justice with Love and Law.
