Going beyond firefighting: Consolidating gains of Globally Networked Learning
Facilitated by Sarah van der Westhuizen, Manager: Global Education Centre

In her newsletter, The Educationalist, Alexandra Mihai, asks the important question of what should Centres for Teaching and Learning focus on next and ask “…how we can build on what they achieved and turn it into sustainable educational development practice.” Although we are situated within the fields of global learning and international education – we should ask ourselves the same question and reflect on what we can do to consolidate the gains we made in terms of Globally Networked Learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.
