Nuffic Connects: International classroom: Now, how and the future

This event revolves around the now, how and the future of the international classroom. Irene Poort (University of Groningen) will present her overview study on the current state and the learning outcomes of the international classroom in the Dutch HE context. What are the key ingredients that contribute to the development of these learning outcomes?

Based on these key ingredients, together with colleagues from other educational institutions, you will discuss how the international classroom can be used (more effectively).

After covering the now and how, we will facilitate a panel discussion on the future of the international classroom in the Dutch context with a focus on student learning. With this panel, we want to explore questions such as "What are the implications of the Internationalization in Balance bill for the learning of all students?", "Is the focus on international diversity too limiting and should higher education focus on diversity in a broader sense?". The event will be concluded with drinks.

This meeting is organized in a collaboration between Nuffic and Irene Poort (University of Groningen).
