NAVIGATING INTERNATIONALISATION IN CHALLENGING TIMES

SPEAKER BIO

Boitshoko Monnamorwe

Growing up in the creatively diverse neighbourhood of Heidedal, Bloemfontein – located in the Free State – I was surrounded by a plethora of languages, traditions, cultures, and perspectives. Exposure to such diversity at a young age ignited a curiosity in me to further explore my surroundings, laying the foundation for future explorations into the world and beyond. As I gained understanding of this multifaceted community, I developed a passion for internationalisation.

Having had the privilege of working with the Office for International Affairs at the University of the Free State, this passion was further fuelled. Now, I find myself keenly interested in participating in IESA 2024. The environment stimulated my curiosity to stay abreast with internationalisation and digitalisation concepts.

Looking ahead, I am committed to actively contributing to the promotion of cross-border innovation, bridging cultural divides, embracing diversity, and enhancing intercultural competencies through the lens of internationalisation and digitalisation.
