Description

 

Attitude, confidence or lack thereof, unclear understanding of the future benefits and opportunities for employment, lack of encouragement to participate, as well as financial challenges have been considered as main factors contributing to discourage study mobility experiences pre-COVID-19. In this session, we will explore an innovative approach to changing students’ attitudes to outbound mobility post-COVID-19. A BC-Northwest Territories Study Abroad Peer Support pilot project designed to address barriers to outbound mobility in a collaborative virtual space, presents the results of investigating ways to create a new, more inclusive, and socially just model of study abroad in the emerging post-COVID-19 post-secondary education landscape.
