Internationalisation and global engagement in higher education are complex and constantly evolving phenomena, the approaches to which vary widely depending on institutional, national and regional contexts. What is similar across contexts, however, is the turbulent environment in which higher education institutions operate.

Meeting internationalisation leaders' challenges

Learn five key relational strategies that adults can use to support children and young people when they are overwhelmed by their emotions.

• Effective strategies to support pupils when emotions feel overwhelming.

• Suggested practical activities to help embed these approaches in your setting.

• Ways to create a safe, nurturing environment where pupils feel heard and understood.

Indeed, today’s unprecedented era of polycrisis presents significant challenges and opportunities for carrying forward effective and transformational internationalisation strategies. This work thus requires energised and empowered senior internationalisation leaders.

This course, which forms part of WWF's Education for a sustainable planet learning path, aims to help you further your understanding of sustainability and equip you with relevant information, tools, activities and good ideas from other skilled practitioners to make Education for Sustainable Development a cornerstone of your teaching practice.
