Time
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (PDT)
Description

 

For many of us, 2020 was a year where we re-envisioned how to internationalize as we transitioned into a virtual campus. How do we continue to weave intercultural dimensions into domestic learning environments? How do we continue to engage stakeholders in intercultural understanding? How do we continue to celebrate International Education Week? The limits of not being in the same physical space also made way for the expansion of what and where the campus can now be – online, fully accessible from anywhere around the world with a Wi-Fi connection. Inspired by the notion of Glocalisation, KPU’s Virtual International Focus Week 2020 centered on the message of #GoingGlocal: Thinking Globally while Acting LOCALLY. We invited students, staff, and faculty to come on the virtual campus and explore ways to engage with the world from home through a video series filmed around Metro Vancouver, a virtual social event with a partner institution, and more. Join us in this session to hear our journey!
