Turning off Autopilot to Unlearn and Deepen Intentionality in Our Work

Wednesday, March 19, 2025
2:30 PM – 3:30 PM US EST
Location: Provincial South, 2nd floor
This session challenges participants to unlearn how we work in international education and reimagine more sustainable, intentional approaches, leaving places and spaces better than when we arrived, inspiring impactful change. From the spaces that host our conferences to the places that host our programs, from the catering we choose for events to the branded gifts we giveaway, this session will empower and inspire participants to make a positive change in their organizations and beyond.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify and Interrogate Routine Practices: Panelists and participants will articulate and question common international education practices that may benefit from values-centered inquisition, including conference and event planning, program execution, marketing, and other individual, organizational, and sector-wide operations.
  • Co-create Intentional, Sustainable Strategies to Deepen Individual and Shared Work: Attendees will take inventory of common practices which may be misaligned with personal, professional, and/or organizational mission and values. Through a process of sharing and collaboration, participants will propose alternative practices at various influence levels to enhance the positive impact of our activities.
  • Develop Plan to Influence Future Standards: Participants will gain skills to advocatefor and implement these intentional, values-centered practices in their work and within their own organizations to improve routine procedure and policies in new ways. Participants will collaborate to inspire and lead broader change across international education to enhance meaning and alignment of our work.
  • Establish Community and Accountability: Panelists and attendees will co-create a community plan to increase accountability and share lessons learned at intervals following the session.
