GLOBAL CAMPUSES FOSTERS CROSS-CULTURAL TEACHING AND LEARNING

Campus to Campus Connections Conference

Through Campus-to-Campus Connections, Global Campus participants expand relationships across the many campuses within New England and Southeast Asia by coming together at conferences and events, traveling to campuses for site visits, and connecting through technology.

Campus-to-Campus Connections (C2C) offers a dynamic opportunity to connect and share with Global Campus participants in Vermont and New Hampshire and across international cultures from New England and Thailand. C2C is designed to strengthen cross cultural understanding, global perspective, environmental consciousness, and disability culture awareness through educational, communication and travel exchanges. Participants come together in person at C2C conferences, travel to each other’s campuses for site visits, and connect through innovative mediums offered by communication technology like teleconferencing, making video films, and social media. As with all Global Campus programs, campus connection activities are created, implemented, and sustained by the participants. C2C promotes the awareness that campus participants belong to something bigger; in this case, Global Campuses’ network. The power of this realization and the actual development of cross-cultural friendships, social networks, and collegial relationships are significant benefits to all involved.
