Call for Proposals
We invite you to be part of the 2023 Ontario Regional Meeting Program!
This year’s Ontario Regional Meeting theme is Embracing the Changing Landscape of International Education.
A widening gap between the skills needed in the labour market and those offered by the workforce due to the pandemic and automation, a changing student demographic, breakthrough technologies, and shifting socioeconomic forces are reshaping the landscape of international education.
As we explore the shifts and changes in international education, we are eager to delve into a range of thought-provoking questions and hear your insights and perspectives on topics such as student advising, global engagement, international partnerships, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and innovative teaching and learning.
Together we seek to answer some critical questions within the IE sector.
- How can student advising be adapted to meet today’s students’ changing needs and expectations?
- What are the next waves of international student recruitment in the 2020s?
- How can students be supported as they experience deepening mental health issues exacerbated by international events, such as war and natural disasters in their home countries?
- How do we foster engagement and help students build community before their arrival?
- How can technology facilitate global engagement and cross-cultural communication among students and educators?
- How can global engagement programs be designed to ensure equitable and inclusive participation for students from diverse backgrounds?
- Who is Gen Alpha, and what will their demands of international education be?
- How can global engagement programming align with sustainability and environmental stewardship?
- What are the opportunities and barriers to global pathways in the next decade?
- How do we leverage collaboration with community organizations and businesses to close the gap between education and industry?
- How can international education break barriers and empower people of all backgrounds to achieve their potential?
- How could Gen Z get inspired to be the new generation of social justice warriors?
- How can we enhance personalized learning for students with diverse learning needs and styles?
- How is Universal Design for Learning being leveraged to support international learners and learners from diverse communities?
The deadline to submit your proposal is April 17, 2023.
