We live in a world that is getting smaller. And that means that we need to nurture an international perspective among our students. Not only so that we can understand other cultures, but also so that we can better understand ourselves. The problems and challenges that any nation or any society faces are the same.

And this is especially true for those of us who work in the field of education. [complete text]
