IEW Keynote Speaker

Champlain College Celebrates International Education Week

International Education Week (IEW) is a celebration of international engagement efforts and the vital impact that international experience has on preparing students for the future in a globalized world.

From November 15-19, Trent University joins over 100 countries globally in celebrating international education, international students, and internationalization. Trent Study abroad website contains a full list of events that are going on at Trent for International education week.

Each year, Trent International and Champlain College collaborate in offering a keynote speaker which brings in experts from across Canada to share their experiences enhancing education globally and working on globalizing our Canadian schools. See the list of past speakers below.


2021: Dr Feyzi Baban and Dr. Chris Beyers - Forced Migration, Citizenship and Migrant Solidarity Movements

Learn more about the current state of our global refugee crisis from IDST Faculty Dr. Feyzi Babin and Dr. Chris Beyers, along with some words from our Trent WUSC Student Refugee Program. Pre-registration required. 

In recent years many states have implemented policies explicitly restricting the legal rights of refugees and introduced migration controls as a response to growing right-wing movements within their borders.  Restrictions on international refugee laws and migration controls take many forms, some of which are designed to strip migrants of their legal rights.  Simultaneously emerging along with these restrictions is citizen-led migrant solidarity movements.  These movements have emerged in many states to challenge restrictive laws and policies and counter exclusionary and racist visions of right-wing movements.The talk will focus on these simultaneous developments in migration control policies and migrant solidarity movements by focusing on examples from Europe and Latin America. 


2020 : Paul Davidson - When the world turns inward, Canada’s Universities reach out
