The conference planning committee for the Third Annual Conference on Fostering Global Citizenship in Higher Education seeks proposals for conference workshops to be presented on Monday, October 5th. Workshops should be interactive and geared toward varying levels of expertise from novice to intermediate to advanced.  They should also provide participants with an opportunity to engage with each other in learning about the session topic and applying it to their unique situations.  Workshops will be 75 minutes long and may be presented by individuals or teams.

Workshop topics should relate to fostering global citizenship in higher education and may include (but need not be limited to) the following topics:

  • Program models for promoting global citizenship, both local or global;
  • Promoting global citizenship in challenging economic times;
  • Campus or institutional strategies for fostering global citizenship;
  • Defining and exploring global citizenship concepts.  
The deadline for submissions is June 5, 2009. This conference is sponsored by World Learning/ SIT Study Abroad and Vermont Campus Compact and co-sponsored by Middlebury College and the University of Vermont. For more information, see  http://www.vtcampuscompact.org/2009_Fostering_Global.htm.

The Director and staff of California Campus Compact have been extremely accessible and supportive of our needs. They have provided direction on all phases of program development and have proven expert on strategies for program growth and sustainability. The constant stream of information that is shared has proven to be an invaluable resource to our office."
