Congratulations to Successful Project Teams and Individuals!

By Vienne Lin

It is our pleasure to announce the successful teams and individuals of the CoP – ITL’s Pilot Project Scheme. We sincerely thank all applicants for their valuable and creative input. Coming from our three Hong Kong-based partner institutions, the 12 successful project teams and individuals will receive grant support for pursuing pedagogical, curricular and programmatic innovations in various aspects of internationalisation of teaching and learning. Many worthy efforts will go to the development of students’ graduate attitudes, intercultural competence, and global citizenship; the advancement of student leadership through internationalised experiential learning; the leverage of student diversity; and the promotion of internationalisation at home and in a virtual space.
