Developing True Global Citizens

The language of developing global citizens is often used when universities describe the purpose of their internationalization efforts. Jason Patent of UC Berkley offers some advice on how campuses can integrate an international perspective into students' learning without it becoming a threat that closes down curiosity and growing awareness.

The Observatory on Borderless Higher Education (OBHE) convened its international partners for a conversation on 'Intercultural Education: Global Citizenship in Changing World Scenarios' to bring higher education and business representatives together to explore the value of cultivating global citizenship. A panel on industry and employment included comments by Pro Vice Chancellor at Regent's University London who said that "employability should be at the centre of any higher education institution's core strategy."
