In the Center for Global Study and Engagement, we strive to not only talk the talk but walk the walk. For us this means continued learning and growth as professionals, changing and influencing practice and policy within the CGSE, Dickinson and the field of international education and contributing our voices and lessons learned through conferences, workshops, presentations, and publications.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and the  are collaborating on an innovative, new partnership to provide much-needed training opportunities that go beyond cultural awareness education and instead reimagine an international education framework that incorporates global, intercultural and equity inclusion lenses.

This partnership has resulted in three sets of virtual workshops being attended by nearly 300 leaders representing 100+ institutions and organizations in 10 countries, to date. These included: Moving from Inclusivity Talk to Equity in Action in International Education Leadership (2020–21), Building Bridges: Committing to Global Equity and Justice in International Education (2022), and “How Do You Know You Are Meeting Your Global DEI Outcomes? Assessing and Communicating Impact” (December 2022). 

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and IIE have also produced a new publication, Models of Change: Equity and Inclusion in Action in International Education, summarizing their partnership to reimagine an international education framework that incorporates global, intercultural, and equity and inclusion lenses through a virtual workshop series. Along with the co-creators’ own reflections of the partnership and the workshops are a curated set of case studies that share personal narratives and experiences from professionals who carried out projects initiated or informed by their workshop participation.    

The publication is available for .
