The Inclusive and Innovative Digital Education for Migrant Community in Kenya and Somalia (IIDEMIC) is a transformative three-year initiative funded by the European Union through the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). It seeks to enhance educational opportunities, teaching practices, aligning with the demands of 21st-century education, and soft skills development for migrants and refugees in Kenya and Somalia by developing a lifelong learning platform and fostering inclusive education programs. IIDEMIC is implemented by Mogadishu University in partnership with leading institutions in Kenya, Turkey, Poland, and Somalia. The project aims to empower migrants and refugees with the knowledge and skills needed to secure a brighter future.
