This symposium was an outgrowth of a UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded International Networking Project. A collaboration between academics in the United Kingdom/Europe, North America, and Asia, this project responds to the fact that there is an increasing interest in understanding how universities can educate students to become more engaged and globally-minded citizens. The premise is that higher education should contribute to the public good by training more global citizens with cultural awareness, a strong sense of civic responsibility and skills to participate in a knowledge-based global economy. The following report documents the symposium proceedings, summarises the presentations and provides key insights drawn from presentations. Comments made by individuals are paraphrased and/or synthesized.
