Case Studies on Intercultural Learning and Dialogue
|
“On the occasion of the IAU Experts’ Seminar on
Intercultural Learning and Dialogue in Higher Education (November 2004,
see report), the Seminar
participants presented Papers and Case Studies outlining institutional
strategies, policies and practices or programs in place or to be
developed by their respective institutions of higher education, and
beyond. This Seminar was sponsored by the Ford Foundation, the UNESCO
Participation Programme, Foreign Affairs Canada, and the Agence de la
francophonie (AUF).
The papers and Case Studies posted online exemplify some of the
challenges faced by institutions in this domain, such as integration of
ethnic minorities and foreign students, gender disparities,
inter-religious dialogue and highlights some concrete
initiatives. Vol 18, no. 4 of Higher Education Policy, which
focuses on Intercultural Learning and Dialogue will appear this
month. It gathers some 11 texts and Case studies presented in
Budapest. These texts are currently being translated, thanks to
the financial support provided by AUF and will be made available online
soon.
Should you wish to contribute a Case Study presenting the strategies
developed within your institution on intercultural learning and
dialogue, or participate in the IAU/Palgrave
essay competition 2006, focusing on Higher Education and
Intercultural learning and Dialogue, please contact us at vantland.iau@unesco.org.”
