UFV’s “Building Global Competencies” project aims to equip students with the necessary skills and applied experiences to engage richly with the global world, while simultaneously acquiring invaluable cross-cultural communication and hands-on opportunities to learn from diverse cultures and settings. Further, the Project will address inequality and advocate for student representation from those with Indigenous backgrounds, low-income students, and students with disabilities. To achieve these goals, UFV will create international internships in cooperation with its existing partnerships with NGOs in, for example, Kenya, Mexico, and Nepal.
