Join us on 27 October for a discussion on gaining international competences through virtual and blended student mobility. During this webinar, we will explore the role digitalisation can play to support internationalisation in education and exchange views on how this can take shape in a virtual classroom or internship.


Webinar – Digitalisation of student mobility: gaining international competences in times of corona through virtual and blended mobility

International competences in a digital world

As a consequence of the COVID-19 crisis, digitalisation in education has inevitably intensified. With classes moving online out of necessity, international student mobility for both education and internships has been heavily impacted. We invite you to a discussion on digitalisation in student mobility.

 

We aim to answer the central question: how do you acquire international competences in a digital international classroom or during a virtual internship? Moreover, what is necessary to make virtual or blended mobility succeed? How do we engage students in virtual mobility? And how can virtual and blended mobility be deployed to best support physical mobility?
