Dear all, Hope you're enjoying your day ka.
My day starts a little later with some family business to tend to and now I have some time to prepare several presentations I have to give this month.
Today, I'd like to share with you about my session with Bhutanese university administrators who ka.
My talk was on internationalization and as usual, I combined some quality/EdPEx aspects to make a closer link and integration to synergize all the efforts aiming at the good of the institutions.
Here are the things I was truly impressed with ka:
- None seemed to struggle interacting in English. They seemed to be quiet like us. Yet, once they got a bit more comfortable (I allowed them to sit anywhere during the group work so one group decided to sit on the floor), they seriously discussed among themselves and came up with fine results that could reflect their actual stages of their institutions.
How I wish some of our senior administrators had similar level of proficiency and comfort as well as the openness to ideas and the engagement when discussing with their younger colleagues ka.
- They were very humble and so very polite, making me feel even more grengjai talking with them.
- It wasn't that obvious at all to identify who was the lead of the team and I like it that way for authentic leaders to stay humble, enabling their less seniors to feel comfortable especially in the discussions.
- When talking about ranking, they had very little interest and most of them, if not all, chose to be internationalized their own ways so the term, 'Glocalization' was the one they agreed to consider. They do know their need to stay sufficient and in consistent manner ka.
- I offered several toolkits for them to determine their IZN level. One group turned out to rate exactly the same level on all the items. They were thrilled to find out their understanding was quite common and I sure was happy for them.
I left that venue, feeling fortunate to have such a nice opportunity to get to know and appreciate Bhutanese much better.
