The Futurists Forum: Foresight for Geopolitical Impacts on International Education
Session Description
Shifts in global geopolitics profoundly affect cross-border student mobility, raising complex challenges for university representatives planning outreach strategies and high school counsellors guiding students. This interactive panel will explore key geopolitical trends projected for the near to medium term, spanning international relations, policy reforms and economic fluctuations, and examine their impact on admissions and student futures. Expert panelists from Canada, the U.S., and Australia will share nuanced insights into reconciling these shifts with recruitment and counselling strategies to support students’ educational and long-term career goals. Attendees on both "sides of the desk" will gain forward-looking approaches to anticipate challenges, mitigate risks, and guide students effectively amid evolving global dynamics.
