Fishbowl session
Do you help faculty design internationalised student learning experiences? Do you aspire to do this work? Join this fishbowl session to connect with your fellow ‘unicorns’, the global network of people who work behind the scenes to support teachers’ efforts to design curricula that develop students’ intercultural and global competences. We’ll explore how we perceive ourselves, how others perceive us and the roads we follow to inhabit this role.
Topics:
Internationalisation of the curriculum Intercultural competencies and languages
I’m Lucie Weissova, currently serving as the Internationalisation at Home Coordinator at Halmstad University, Sweden. In this role, I’m dedicated to fostering inclusive internationalisation practices, such as internationalisation at home, curriculum internationalisation, and virtual exchange. Previously, I spent over a decade building international partnerships and student mobility programs at Jönköping University. Additionally, I work as a consultant for higher education institutions both nationally and globally.
With a background in International Education Management, I’m also pursuing a PhD at the Center for Higher Education Internationalisation at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Italy. My research focuses on the institutional support and professional development provided to academics to help them implement internationalisation of the curriculum.
I’m affiliated with the Mestenhauser Institute of International Collaboration, and I actively engage in both domestic networks (e.g., FINT) and international networks (e.g., World Council on Intercultural and Global Competence).
What I enjoy most are the global connections that continuously challenge and shape me, both personally and professionally.
