January 28, 2009 Updated

This toolkit is a collection of intercultural activities that can be used by international educators with the goal of internationalizing the campus. Activity sizes range from person-to-person to campus-wide.

In this toolkit you will find activities you can use in your orientations as well as other activities that will suggest ways for spreading internationalization beyond your office or department. There are large-budget activities and shoestring-budget activities. No matter which area of international education you specialize in, or what the size of your institution is, this toolkit has activities you will be able to put to use.
