Gudrun Paulsdottir, President of the European Association for International Education reviews the book ‘Making a difference: Australian International Education’. Edited by Dorothy Davies and Bruce Mackintosh, the primary goal of the book was to identify benefits of Australian international education, often not recognised in the wider community.
Almost 25 years ago, a small number of ambitious educators realised the need for a ‘European association dealing with international education matters’. In 1989, after months of meetings, discussions, and planning, the EAIE was proudly established: a pioneering organisation with the aim to professionalise the international education arena and act as a catalyst for positive change.
