Going Global 2016
Going Global is the British Council’s flagship annual conference for international leaders of non-compulsory education. Going Global 2016 will take place on 3 – 5 May, 2016, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, South Africa. Going Global conferences attract more than 1,500 leaders of international education from over 80 countries across the globe including ministerial officials, heads of universities and colleges, leaders in vocational training, senior academic staff, directors of NGOs, business leaders and policy makers.
The 2016 conference theme is Building nations and connecting cultures: education policy, economic development and engagement and will consider how we reconcile the need for locally relevant national development and priorities alongside a commitment to international education for the global good.
Going Global 2016 will examine non-compulsory education through the following lenses:
- Education policy: local priorities, national systems and global drivers
- Economic development: skills, enterprise, research and innovation
- Engagement: democracy, social justice and international relations
