Fostering Global Citizenship in Higher Education

Proposals due June 5, 2009

The conference planning committee seeks proposals for conference workshops to be presented on Monday, October 5th that are interactive and geared toward varying levels of expertise from novice to intermediate to advanced. Workshops should provide participants 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.

Please submit workshop proposals via email by Friday, June 5, 2009 to: clower@middlebury.edu. Confirmation emails will be sent upon receipt of proposals; potential presenters will be informed of decisions via email by July 15. Conference presenters will be expected to register for the conference but registration fees for up to two presenters per workshop will be waived for the conference (October 5); the waived registration fees do not apply to the post-conference institutes (October 6).
