UKCISA/AoC FE International Network

The FE International Network was based on the partnership with UKCISA and AoC.  It met once or twice a year subject to interest.  It was a forum for staff involved in international activity in the college sector to meet and discuss issues of common interest.  Events included presentations from relevant bodies such as the British Council, and practitioner-led discussions based on institutional case studies.

The FE Network has not met for some time but UKCISA and the AoC are planning two events in 2017-18 to support FE members and these will be listed here as soon as they are finalised. The first event which is likely to be in October will be on supporting international student mental health in the UK.
