INMP Fall Workshop for
Internationalizing the Curriculum: International
Negotiations Module Project (INMP)
The INMP is an on-line simulation
of international negotiation that allows community college
faculty from across the curriculum to infuse an international
perspective into their classes.
http://www.icons.umd.edu/inp/index.html
Students negotiate on a range of international issues selected
by the faculty members so that they can support the substance of
their classes. Each participating classroom adopts the role of
a different country and negotiates from the point of view of
that country. At the conclusion of the project, students will
be familiar with the culture, economy, history and politics of
other countries, the interrelationship of nations, the art of
negotiation, and with the Internet.
Since 1995, the INMP project has
included community college faculty from over 30 colleges
nationwide and in disciplines ranging from Art to Zoology.
Faculty have given a very positive evaluation to this project,
noting that participation was a career-altering experience.
Many note that they will never be able to teach their classes
again without an international perspective. Students also
acknowledged that this was an exceptional learning experience as
they not only learn more about current issues and negotiations
in general, but that they become more aware of the ways in which
such issues affect them personally. The INMP project gets
students involved in active participation in international
education.
The INMP Simulation is conducted
each Spring Semester with a Fall orientation workshop. At the
Fall orientation workshop there is a chance to talk about
important international issues, have a presentation by experts
in the field, and meet with others who will be involved in the
Spring simulation. While there is a $ 1,000 registration free
for participation in the Spring Simulation, the Fall workshop is
free and open to everyone.
All CCIE faculty and
administrators are invited to a Free 2-day Fall orientation
workshop Friday, November 11 (9:00 - 5:00) & Saturday ,
November 12 (8:00 - 11:00) at Whittier College in Southern
California. Lunch
and a continental breakfast is included on both days.
