A Community-based Approach to International Student Well-being

Description
As international students seek their education at a host academic institution, they become important constituents of the fabric of the host community. While academics and practitioners have highlighted the role of multiple stakeholders in supporting international students throughout their journey, they have also cautioned about the fragmented and siloed approach which has resulted in many students falling between the cracks. Acknowledging those challenges, a grassroots initiative was launched to establish a more intentional, collaborative and proactive approach to international students’ well-being in the City of Brampton, a community that is home to many international students. The Improving the International Student Experience Summit was held in July to work collectively towards building a brighter tomorrow for international students.
In this webinar, Sheridan will present a draft of Leading Globally, Acting Locally: The Brampton Community Charter on the Safety, Well-Being and Inclusion of International Students — a roadmap for making Brampton a best-practice leader in supporting international students. Moderated by Amira El Masri with panelists Roopa Desai Trilokekar and Rajan Sandhu.
