We're not blogging a lot these days. We've been so busy and it is easy to overlook a regular few words here. So here is a short one for you.

Today a colleague sent me an article: Students should see the world - or watch it sail past. It highlights the need for international experience. Yet the more students I speak to the more I am baffled. Too many students seem to think that developing global competencies means they have to travel to exotic places and speak foreign languages. However I am confident that there are opportunities to develop these competencies at every university in the UK while living in university accommodation. Despite my confidence I am left asking:

How can we help students make the most of the international experiences they have every day?

Frontrunners out there, I would like to know how you have and are developing global competencies.
