Estacio, Emee Vida; Karic, Toni
Journal of Further and Higher Education, v40 n6 p731-745 2016
This article provides an example of how the World Café method can be used as a platform to encourage reflection on internationalisation in higher education. The World Café is a community engagement method that encourages participants to engage in reflection and dialogue in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. It promotes the use of multiple methods in capturing insights that recognise individual and cultural preferences in communication. It values respect for diversity of perspectives, which resonates with the principles of internationalisation. This article focuses primarily on how this method can be used in practice and provides a step-by-step guide on how to organise and facilitate such an event.
