Reflecting the fact that we live in a highly connected world where intercultural contact in multicultural and multilingual environments cannot be ignored, international learning and teaching has become an increasingly important aspect of higher education. It provides benefits to both the university and individuals. It can lead to greater co-operation in the exchange of knowledge, a sense of global justice, empathy towards other cultures, a sense of citizenship that goes beyond national borders, and the expression of plurilingual identities. This in turn can result in the development of an outward-looking, plurilingual global identity whereby students can critically engage in and across a diversity of languages and cultures. UCC actively supports the integration of international, intercultural and plurilingual dimensions into the delivery of the educational experience. This is seen in many ways, for example in the Praxis Project (SDG4 Quality Education); and in the promotion of international mobility through the Erasmus+ programme and the UNIC Alliance. However, research has consistently shown that simply participating in international mobility is not always enough to guarantee that such developments will occur. Students require pre-departure preparation, support during their stay, and post-mobility opportunities to continue to engage in intercultural, multilingual and globalised learning
