The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Programme in Education in Museums and Heritage (EDUMaH) has been a deeply enriching academic and professional experience. Coming from the Hunza Valley in northern Pakistan, I had the opportunity to engage with a diverse cohort of peers from around the world, which fostered meaningful intercultural exchange and collaborative learning.

My mobility paths—University of Glasgow (UofG), University of Tartu (UT), Estonia, and Radboud University (RU), Netherlands—offered exposure to varied pedagogical approaches and heritage contexts.

What makes EDUMaH unique is its fusion of theory, practice, and cultural exchange. My experiences across these institutions—and the countries they represent—allowed me to engage with diverse approaches to heritage, both in the classroom and within museum spaces. This opportunity did not just equip me with skills—it gave me the confidence and critical tools to question, challenge, and reshape dominant heritage practices.


These experiences have significantly informed my dissertation and deepened my commitment to inclusive, community-based heritage practices. EDUMaH provided a unique blend of academic nurture, practical training, and inclusive learning environments. It empowered me to engage critically with heritage and education while navigating and contributing to culturally diverse communities.
