Who?The workshop is aimed at everyone with international experiences through exchange or volunteer programmes – including students, professionals, committed individuals, and representatives of organisations, universities, and educational institutions involved in international learning and transfer.

 

Have you had international experiences – past or ongoing?

During an exchange or volunteer programme, as a student or professional? Whether you’ve just returned or are still in the middle of it, you might be wondering how to bring these new perspectives, ideas, and priorities sustainably into your daily life, work, or volunteering.

We invite you to a workshop where we will reflect together, learn from each other and develop concrete approaches to ensure that international learning experiences have a lasting impact.
