Poster session
This poster presentation explores the scientific basis of storytelling and framing, drawing from cognitive psychology and neuroscience. This academic framework will be the basis to further explore narratives in higher education policy and politics, demonstrating how narratives engage stakeholders and influence decision-making. Attendees are invited to discuss existing narratives and their use for advocacy and stakeholder engagement, as well as for internal institutional policymaking.
Topics:
Advocacy and stakeholder engagement
Elisabeth te Hennepe is Project Manager for International Higher Education Curriculum at Nuffic, the Dutch national organisation for internationalisation of education. In this role, she works on contributing to purposeful integration international competences and intercultural dimensions in curricula (also known as Internationalisation at Home).
Elisabeth started working in internationalisation in the winter of 2014, when she joined her university's International Office as a student-assistant. The casual student job turned into a professional passion. Over the years, she fulfilled many different roles: organising summer schools and staff training events, communication and training for mentors to international students and staff, Erasmus+ grant writing (for European Universities Alliance), crisis communications in times of COVID-19, secretary to an institutional strategic partnership, setting up a training institution on digitalisation of internationalisation processes, and, eventually, her favourites - educational policy advising and project management on IaH.
Elisabeth is passionate about higher education curriculum development, Internationalisation at Home (IaH), and policy and strategy in higher education. She has a special interest in technology and its impact on education. Additionally, outside of her higher education working hours, you will also be able to find her as a trainer and facilitator in international youth work.
