International Educators Workshop (IEW)
DIS welcomes education abroad professionals, faculty, administrators, academic advisors, and student affairs staff to an International Educators Workshop (IEW) at DIS Stockholm and DIS Copenhagen each semester.
The next IEW will be held April 7-11 and October 20-24, 2025, and registration is now open.
A week with DIS
Centered around the student experience, the IEW is a hands-on, interactive way to help you better advise your students – from the curriculum and housing options to differences between the cities and the cultures.
The week provides opportunities to:
- Discuss key topics in study abroad with participants and DIS staff/faculty – e.g. place-based learning, student wellbeing and sense of belonging, and universal design learning principles
- Delve into the DIS curriculum through high-impact learning practices and attending classes and Field Studies
- Discover why and how Scandinavia leads the way in technology (computer science, data science, and engineering), health sciences, sustainability, and gender & sexuality studies
- Explore collaboration opportunities like custom & faculty-led programs, research, conference presentations, etc.
- Uncover the ethos of Scandinavia like dialogue, trust, ‘the good life,’ openness & transparency, innovation, and nature
*See the full course lists and syllabi in the Course Finder – not all classes are open to visitors due to scheduling restrictions.
