Schools are currently focusing more attention on thinking globally through enhancing international trips, globalizing the curriculum, developing global partnerships, and diversifying the school body. The traditional classroom experience is being transformed so that students are prepared for an interconnected and interdependent world. Canadian schools need to embrace international education. The world needs our Canadian global leaders.

In May 2008, CESI formed a Think Tank on International Education to identify and share best practices in this area. The discussion on October 30, 2008 focused on what it is, why it is essential, what it looks like in our schools and where it is going.
