Global discussion online : IPC student teachers in seven countries

• This presentation shares how student teachers in seven countries came together online to share intercultural perspectives and experiences on a range of topics of relevance to education systems, policy, teacher education, and childhood. In 2017, participating countries were: Australia, Bulgaria, Germany, Japan, Spain, Sweden and the USA. Through the process of discussing and documenting diverse cultural and educational practices – for example the age children start school, the involvement of parents in education, uniforms, daily routines, inclusion, and technology - student teachers reflected on values, beliefs, traditions and aspirations. The experience also developed their verbal and visual communication skills – for most students in a second language. Swedish and Australian student teachers synthesized global findings as presentations, which informed local course learning of all participants. The global discussion is part of the broader International Project (http://www.internationalproject-ipc.com/en/).
