It starts … the first of my 2022-2023 group of exchange students returns home to Sweden tomorrow. He’s had some struggles but is ending the year on a high note — he gets credit for turning things around and putting in some effort. He’s grown so much during these 10 months. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a teenager, and his host parents and I assume his idea of “I cleaned my room” may differ from our own definition… 😂😂

"The tragedy is that so much of what we were told #Brexit was about–pivoting away from #Europe towards the #Commonwealth & the rest of the world; investing in our “world-beating” homegrown industries–is personified in the international student. They have a cultural affinity with the #UK, recognise the prestige of degrees from British universities & the value of being here to their careers & global relevance"

@uwebrandenburg @eddiepwest @Pii @cheng_yien I agree with Uwe. I'm a lawyer and have a bunch of lawyer colleagues, I work on climate and have connections there, and I work with #internationalstudents so have that as well. I haven't had trouble connecting with people on different servers -- I feel that it's more a matter of getting the people who work in #intled to come over. A lot of the people I know are still hanging onto Twitter.
