International Symposium
University of Vic-Central University of Catalonia, postponed from 14th-15th May 2020 to 4-5 March 2021
The exponential growth of international mobility has triggered concerns about how students can be trained to make the most of their intercultural experience abroad and on how they can best achieve intercultural and global competences. Topics such as interdisciplinary work, cooperation between international office staff and academics, students’ agency, professional competencies and online learning have been discussed in recent years. The present symposium intends to share the results of research and innovative teaching practices and create a space for debate on those topics. In addition, we hope to give voice to both social and business agents and students to enhance the impact of theory on practice.
REGISTRATION (free of charge): 01.02.2021-02.03.2021

The conference will convene entirely online via Zoom.
