Rejection, discrimination and the spread of prejudices based on racial stereotypes represent a serious problem in the construction of a strong Europe in the world, a problem of fundamental rights and a handicap for the proper functioning of democracy. In the medium and long term, there is a contradiction between the social rejection that translates into hostility to immigration and the tendency towards spatial, educational and cultural segregation, and the economic needs of the EU, whose demographic pyramid is characterized by the low birth rate and the aging population. Our future Atlantic World Race and Inequality (AWORI) Master Degree will be focused on these issues present in Europe nowadays to track the historical dimension of this problem described succinctly. The AWORI Master will allow us to link the study of Latin America, Africa and Europe from the perspective of race and inequality with the aim of refocusing the perception of the racial question in Europe and the Atlantic World. AWORI project with UJI as mono-beneficiary, will also reinforce the skills of three EU Universities (UJI-Spain, Science Po Bordeaux-France, Universidade Nova de Lisboa-Portugal) and two underrepresented Partners Countries (Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil and UNAM, Mexico) to develop an innovative Joint Master Degree. The projected work is organized in 5 WP containing 30 tasks, and 09 deliverables will be submitted. The objectives and expected results of the project are the following: -to design a future transnational Master degree integrating modernized curriculum and teaching practices and including a joint quality assurance mechanism, joint policies, accreditation and recognition of the ECTS-credits; -enhancing the academic cooperation between the Consortium members; -a Draft Partnership Agreement and a Draft Student Agreement. AWORI MD will contribute to the attractiveness of the EHEA and is a chance to strengthen under-represented disciplines and institutions.
