🔖UniCEN: The more we share, the more we have!
✅On March 24th and 25th, American Councils organized the UniCEN Workshop on internationalization in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
🎯After participating in the workshop, Anvar Karimov - a faculty member of Samarkand Institute of Economics and Service organized an informational seminar to share what he learned.
🗞During the seminar, he shared information about the COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) and EDGE (Experiential Digital Global Engagement) programs. He also shared strategies for integrating culture and global learning into the teaching process.
🔸Anvar says: “The important thing I learned from the Bishkek workshop is the crucial point is not to obtain new facts but to discover new ways of thinking, and the great aim of education is not knowledge but action. So, I hope using the skills I obtained during the workshop we can enhance our activity in internationalization.”
