摘要

The chapter centers on how the faculty instructors incorporated SDGs into the Global Learning Exchange (GLE) in the US and the Global Immersion Programme (GIP) in India through co-teaching in-person and online, with a focus on virtual simulations of real-world crises and bi- and multi- lateral policy response. Simulations model real-world situations such as international health and economic or political crises, allowing students to work through complex issues while learning transferable skills in global cultural competence and communication. Adopted in the United Nations in 2015, the unanimous resolution on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) identified 17 diverse sustainability targets. This chapter outlines the experience of the blended model of internationalization designed and implemented over the last seven years and will outline how certain SDGs were being addressed through this collaboration, namely those of Quality Education, Gender Equality, and Reduced Inequalities.
