Sofia Fonseca, from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teiduma.com\">Teiduma<\/a>, together with the J\u00f6rg Linst\u00e4dter, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dainst.org\/dai\/meldungen\">DAI<\/a> and Bruno Bicho, from the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.icarehb.com\/\"> ICArEHB<\/a>&#8211; University of the Algarve (UAlg), organized a meeting in Faro on the 19<sup>th<\/sup> of December of 2016. There were also Matthieu Honegger, from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unine.ch\/\">University of Neuchatel<\/a> and Jonathan Haws, from the <a href=\"https:\/\/louisville.edu\/\">University of Louisville<\/a>. The idea was to bring together different colleagues and institutions working in Africa to start creating the MOOC structure and the future of the online platform. What would we like to have in our first course? Which African colleagues we would contact to join the project? Which main objectives would the platform have? And finally, what were the main challenges to overcome? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a very important moment with the partners presenting their different projects in Africa and brainstorming together to answer the questions that always arrive at the beginning of any endeavour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sofia Fonseca started the presentations with an introduction to &#8220;E-Learning and the future of archaeological and heritage education in Africa&#8221;.   Nuno Bicho, presented the ICArEHB project &#8220;The Massingir region in Mozambique&#8221;, followed by  J\u00f6rg Linst\u00e4dter  and &#8220;The German Archaeological Institute (DAI) and it&#8217;s projects in Africa&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jonathan Haws made a presentation regarding his project on &#8220;The coastal Archaeology in Mozambique&#8221; and Matthieu Honegger, took us to Sudan to meet the &#8220;Archaeological project in Kerma (Northern Sudan): Research, valorization and protection of the cultural heritage&#8221;.
