Project details

Short description

The conference aims at an international comparative analysis of internationalization of schools as school development. International experts address key features and developments in different national systems of education with regard to internationalization and focus on the question how schools develop their concepts of internationalization under regional and local conditions. They also discuss the question to what degree internationalization may be regarded as an aspect of school quality and analyze intended and unintended effects of internationalization in schools. Researchers and interested practitioners are invited to participate in the conference. The conference seeks to make a contribution to the systematic theoretical and empirical knowledge about internal processes of internationalization in schools as school development and the role of the context of the national systems of education for internationalization strategies. Practitioners will get a systematic overview of approaches towards internationalization in different countries for reflective internationalization activities with partner schools.
