First Forum on Education Abroad Conference in Europe

The Forum on Education Abroad’s first European conference focuses on the education abroad destination that has been and continues to be the most popular for U.S. students: Europe, including the United Kingdom and Ireland. The conference will take place on December 5-7, 2012, in Dublin, Ireland, and will address the theme: "Reinventing the European Experience: Culture, Politics and Diversity in U.S. Education Abroad."

 

This conference seeks to understand how a changing and evolving Europe creates new realities for U.S. education abroad. What attracts students to study abroad in Europe? How can we best maximize their learning opportunities by drawing on the distinctive opportunities that Europe offers? What are the special challenges of developing, implementing, and sustaining education abroad in Europe?

 

The conference will address the interests of education abroad administrators and faculty who work and teach in Europe, as well as colleagues from the United States who work with European programs and universities. The goal of the conference will be to share ideas for model practices for U.S. education abroad in Europe, including program design and curriculum, teaching, and a wide range of administrative issues and topics.
