Promoted by the Canadian Bureau for International Education<\/a>, the annual event takes place Monday, Nov. 15 to Friday, Nov. 19 with a mix of both virtual and in-person offerings.<\/p>\n Hosted by Brock International Services, International Education Week aims to not only help create a community of globally minded citizens, but also offers a fun environment to learn about different cultures.<\/p>\n Brock staff, faculty, students, student clubs, academic units, departments and Faculties interested in hosting international education-themed events during the annual celebration are encouraged to apply. Proposals should focus on the importance of internationalization, highlighted in the University\u2019s Strategic Plan<\/a>, and demonstrate the impact of global education in preparing students for the world of tomorrow.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s lineup already includes diverse panel discussions, trivia, Bollywood dance lessons and networking opportunities with successful Brock alumni, and more.<\/p>\n Events can be virtual or in-person, providing they follow the current COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions for room capacity and screening.
