Session Description
In the 21st century (and beyond), the skills and dispositions needed to
thrive are dramatically different. We'll explore how education needs to
change to accommodate a rapidly changing, complex and interdependent global
community, and how educators can leverage their power as agents of change

principles for building global competence in teaching, learning and
