The College vision on internationalism aims to promote resources for educators to embed intercultural understanding and international awareness. LCE welcomes preservice and in-service educators who strive to further develop their professional capabilities and broaden their professional opportunities within school boundaries and beyond, in local and global contexts and locations, and in different cultural and religious contexts. In sharing knowledge, skills, and innovation with international partners, we can generate opportunities to raise education standards both nationally and internationally. As our approach to international engagement is based on partnership, our objective is to foster motivation and engagement within students and staff, to further our international partnerships.

PAST AND CURRENT ACTIVITIES

Year 2018-2019: focus on broadening connections with HE institutes of interest, as well as searching for student mobility opportunities; searching for at least one CBHE project opportunities; beyond ERASMUS+ hosting at least 1 delegation as well as at least 1 individual who chose LCE as a model for teacher training.

Year 2019-2020: preserving bilateral connections with existing institutes in the mobility framework –adding more students in the existing mobility and adding another HE institute for student mobility exchange; participating in 2 CBHE projects – including funding (matching); beyond ERASMUS+ hosting at least 2 delegations as well as individuals/researchers who chose LCE as a model for teacher training. We aim to provide a welcoming environment for international exchange students and staff. We worked according to formal international relationships, that have traditionally focused more on student and faculty exchange. Our aim is to further enlarge the scope of our international development to include collaborative research.

Year 2020-2021: promoting internationalization as a culture in the college, in terms of personnel, physical settings, multiculturalism and multi-religiosity; possible MOUs’ exploration of opportunities for joint degrees or double degrees. Focus on developing the exchange of knowledge and expertise with other countries.
