Global Case Study Challenge (GCSC) is an innovative, high-impact career-oriented teaching and learning virtual exchange (VE) project, providing educators and students with invaluable experience in intercultural, international and virtual interaction. Focusing on intercultural, digital communication and sustainability competencies, this virtual exchange program showcases how new virtual models of teaching and learning within real-world contexts can support the development of new global and future-oriented work competencies.
Educators are the ones who sign up and then join with their students. The educators will then have an onboarding meeting with the GCSC organisation team. More information here, here and here.
