As complex geopolitical tensions and rising polarization shape global dynamics, the concept of internationalization is being continually reassessed. While globalism has undeniably fostered cross-border connections and expanded educational opportunities, it has also prompted important discussions about disparities and cultural sovereignty. This webinar will challenge conventional narratives of internationalization by exploring how Virtual Exchange (VE) and Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) can provide a balanced approach to global learning. We will examine how these tools can expand internationalization at home (IaH) while respecting local contexts and addressing the complexities of globalism. Participants will hear from institutions that have successfully integrated VE/COIL into their IaH strategies, navigating the fine line between global engagement and local integrity. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how to create global classrooms that not only connect but also critically engage with the world.
