The 2014 Universitas 21 Global Citizenship Workshop is the first of its kind in the network s calendar of events and is a flagship event in bringing together students, academic and professional staff, and industry professionals all with experience in tracking and evaluating the impact of mobility and internationalisation. The idea of Global Citizenship is potentially at the heart of 21 st century developments in transnational higher education. Our discussions will explore the way in which attention to Global Citizenship might drive enhancements of teaching and learning strategy, curriculum development, student experience, and career development and employability training. The workshop programme takes Global Citizenship into consideration to better understand, promote and strengthen U21 s internationalisation thrust, while offering provocations to chart the next phase of activity in the Universitas 21 network.

The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC) welcomes you! Dear Workshop Delegates, Welcome to UNMC and Malaysia! We hope you find, as you take in Malaysia s fantastic food, warmth and fellowship, that you very quickly feel at home. The University of Nottingham has a long-standing tradition in internationalisation and is constantly challenged to review and update its mandate to deliver relevant curricula and an unforgettable student experience. We are particularly proud to be hosting this Universitas 21 Workshop on Global Citizenship this year and are delighted to be partnering with such a wide cross-section of international stakeholders across the U21 network and beyond. We look forward to exploring important and timely themes in Transnational Higher Education over the next couple of days and anticipate wide ranging benefits for all participants. Best wishes to all, Professor Christine Ennew, Pro Vice Chancellor, CEO and Provost, University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus 5
Message from the Knowledge Without Borders Network (KWBN) Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat Those of you familiar with printing conventions will recognize these Latin phrases, which are the standard filler used by typesetters when setting up text. Those of you familiar with histories of education will also be aware that for centuries, in Europe and beyond, Latin was the shared language of the academic community, allowing scholars to come together, beyond borders, to share and create knowledge. In that same period, communities of scholars around the world found common ground in languages such as Arabic, Sanskrit and varieties of Chinese. It therefore seems appropriate, in welcoming the delegates to this Global Citizenship workshop, to remember that education and scholarship have always been global activities, and that our endeavours in the coming days are part of a long and priceless tradition. Those of you familiar, finally, with the University of Nottingham will also recognize the statue in the photo above: it is D. H. Lawrence. Lawrence is one of the University s most famous alumni famous as a writer and controversialist, a key figure in the literary pantheon. What is less well known is that, for the final twelve years of his tragically short life, he was in many ways himself the archetype of the Global Citizen, circumnavigating the globe, living in as far flung places as Ceylon, Australia, New Mexico, Italy, Sicily and France, in a quest to understand and experience, to share, as much as possible, of the experience of the world s most ancient cultures. It therefore seems fitting (at least to me, as a Lawrentian!), that we take an epigraph for our event from Lawrence s great narrative of travel and intercultural experience, Sea and Sardinia,: Comes over one an absolute necessity to move. And what is more, to move in some particular direction. A double necessity then: to get on the move, and to know whither.

His interests in internationalization of Higher Education relate both to his academic research as a literary and cultural critic and intellectual historian he is centrally concerned with the history and theory of post-colonialism, but also with understanding processes of emergence and change in academic disciplines and institutions, the ways in which knowledge is created, curated and disseminated but above all from his experiences as a university lecturer here in Malaysia, but also in Japan, the United States, Wales (and England) and in continental Europe. Coming to Malaysia crystalised my interest in the processes and history of internationalisation, bringing into urgent focus my thoughts about the significance and course of TNE. The past twenty years have seen extraordinary rapid changes, globally, in the university sector, and my career has inevitably in some ways been closely bound up with that history. KWBN offers an opportunity, I hope for many of us, who have experienced these big changes, been subject to these great changes, to contribute to the work of better understanding and, ideally, directing them. 24
