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?
