The organisers
It was way out of our comfort zone but we got through our first online symposium on 4th and 5th March with relatively few hiccoughs. I am a member of the organising committee so hardly impartial, but it was great (even though it was online), it was refreshing and we didn’t make complete fools of ourselves with the tech!
We heard multiple perspectives on internationalisation and intercultural communication, which opened our eyes to the realities of 21st century higher education. Panelists included educators and researchers, university students and staff, together with practising professionals, who participated in the three main symposium themes:
- Quality and internationalisation
- Teaching and learning intercultural, global and professional competencies
- Best teaching practice
