Despite the changes in technologies and the world, one thing has not changed: “Being young is about finding yourself, your people, and your place in the world.”

How To Do Intercultural Education

Globalization has often been heralded as a positive force for society, especially because of the possibility of enabling previously disconnected parts of the world to interface with one another. It has brought about new ways of communicating, of understanding people, and of benefiting economically.

However, the recent International Educational Frontiers Conference’s plenary speaker, Dr. Christine Halse, also emphasized that globalization has brought about huge disparities in wealth, “with some experiencing great poverty to others being ‘crazy rich Asians’.”

Dr. Halse is chair professor at the Education University of Hong Kong.
