During the summer of 2022, 49 students from 18 countries around the world actively participated in the program while creating a meaningful connection among them. This was evidenced in the level of engagement of the students in each of the three sessions. Our SOTG partner, Crossing Borders Education (CBE), designed and delivered the sessions emphasizing the importance of creating a safe space to motivate students.
There were three online sessions dedicated to relationship building, skills development and collective action. In addition, there were two extra sessions that were offered to a smaller group of 10 students who were able to commit and participate in the SOTG 2022 Conference.
These 10 student leaders shared their perspectives on the topics and themes of the conference and moderated sessions with international experts. As part of their intervention, students challenged SOTG 2021 speakers in what they presented and considered would happen after the pandemic in relationship to internationalization and inclusive international education.
Our sincere thanks to Crossing Borders Education, its founder and CEO Arnd Watcher, and the two facilitators Lili Asch and Zainab Bokhari.
