Curriculum internationalisation in an African context

By Loveness Kaunda. On 31 August, the International Education Association of South Africa – IEASA – launched its first special interest group, which will become a feature of its annual conferences and one of the main features of the association’s strategies for achieving its objectives.
This was a culmination of many years of collaboration between IEASA members and the chairs of similar special interest groups from the European Association of International Education and the International Education Association of Australia. Joint collaborative activities over the years included workshops, seminars, training and joint conference presentations on aspects of internationalisation at home and internationalisation of the curriculum. It was decided to launch IEASA’s first special interest group on internationalisation of the curriculum at its 16th annual conference, which was hosted by the University of Cape Town.
