Team BC Southeast Asia Mission (Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam)
In support of BC’s International Education sector, BCCIE is pleased to announce a coordinated BCCIE and Team BC Mission – Southeast Asia Fall 2019 Engagement taking place from October 4–21, 2019. This initiative will take place in Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam and will focus on building upon the relationships and strategic linkages that were established with education agents and networks, schools, universities, institutions, and with provincial and national agencies. EduCanada Fairs are taking place in a number of ASEAN nations during this time; however, BCCIE will be in Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam only for this fall. The working itinerary includes attendance at EduCanada fairs, agent training, partnership development visits, and other value-added activities in established and emerging markets in Surabaya, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Danang, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City.
Target Audience: K-12 schools and districts, EQA-designated post-secondary institutions and language schools in BC
Deadline: August 31, 2019 for expression of interest to participate in BC value-added events and BC branding at EduCanada fairs
Please see below for instructions and deadlines for EduCanada Fair registration.
Opportunity for growth in partnership development is also at the forefront of the BCCIE and Team BC Mission in SE Asia for Fall 2019. The recent Canada-ASEAN Scholarships for Educational Exchanges and Development (SEED) program and Canada’s membership in the University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific consortium provide opportunities for the development of reciprocal institutional collaborations between BC and ASEAN post-secondary institutions.
