1. Conference presentation (April 28th,
2004)
Presentation:
The conference is a one-day seminar gathering teachers,
professors, experts and students to assess the current shortcomings
and strengths of international education in Europe and the
USA. The goal of the seminar is to produce a set of recommendations
for improving the situation. Speakers will provide short
introductory statements followed by panel discussion.
In
a globalized world, where both Europe and the United States
are playing international roles, an enhanced understanding
of international issues is crucial to accommodate information
and values coming from abroad. Without doing so, the fabric
of our societies is at stake because democracy only works
properly when citizens can make informed policy choices.
Language proficiency and international exposure (direct
or indirect) are becoming key assets in the constantly widening
range of careers. Therefore, international education is
central to future prosperity and freedom.
