International Dialogues
International Dialogues
The area studies centers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are integral to the campus and community’s understanding of the world and the promotion of international education. The centers, five of which are designated National Resource Centers by the U.S. Department of Education, provide services and resources for instruction, learning and research related to global issues, world regions and modern foreign languages.
The centers are participating in Connecting Carolina Classrooms with the World (CCCW), an initiative launched by the Office of the Vice Provost of Global Affairs in May 2020, in collaboration with the College of Arts & Sciences. The initiative supports faculty who include enhanced virtual and remote global collaboration in their course offerings through three approaches: Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), International Dialogues, and Virtual Study Abroad.
Through International Dialogues, instructors in the College engage their students in global collaborations with international students, faculty, scholars and experts. Activities throughout the semester include guest lectures, group discussions and projects.
