Stellenbosch University Experiential Education Conference 2020
CONFERENCE TRACK 4:
Internationalisation in higher education.
“The intentional process of integrating an international, intercultural or global dimension into the purpose, functions and delivery of post-secondary education in order to enhance the quality of education and research for all students and staff and to make a meaningful contribution to society.” – Knight 2015
Internationalisation research indicate a shift towards international education that supports transformative outcomes of human solidarity across cultures and inequities with a focus on human values and rather than material advantage. Escrigas forsees that the evolution of universities, as work partnerships towards the creation of dynamic and sustainable global communities, focused as much on human values as on the pursuit of material advantage. Experiential education and internationalisation form a nexus in terms of global learning and culturally responsive teaching as part of the university curriculum. However Covid-19 requires new responses in uncertain times for students as well as universities
The Internationalisation conference-track explores the emerging discourses and approaches to higher education internationalisation as building inclusive research networks of reciprocity.
