Many lessons have been learned over the past two years. As we return to in-person engagements, we are now beginning to integrate these learnings into our practice and create more innovative models for developing deeper, more meaningful and active partnerships, enhanced capacity building opportunities by utilizing technologies for students, Faculty, and practitioners alike. The presenters, who come from a government organization based in Canada (British Columbia Council for International Education) and two organizations housed at higher education institutions, one hosted in Canada, University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific (UMAP) currently hosted at Vancouver Community College and the other in Japan, the Institute for Global Education (IIGE), based at Kansai University will share best practices and examples of recent intentional partnership development approaches. Intentional steps for partnership development include: identification of shared interests and values related to sustainability goals, capacity building for Faculty and staff using technologies; and strategic in-person programming to enhance innovative curriculum delivery highlighting equity, diversity and inclusion.
