Internationalisation and intercultural competence are fundamental concepts in contemporary education, receiving extensive theoretical exploration and practical implementation in higher education institutions. However, these concepts have received relatively limited attention in school contexts. Alongside these ideas, there is a growing emphasis on global citizenship and the cultivation of students' critical thinking abilities and self-realisation. This book draws upon a decade of firsthand experience in integrating all three principles within the practice of an upper secondary school in Denmark, which is interconnected with 16 schools in 15 countries. The book encompasses a comprehensive description of the project provided by the participating teachers, as well as an in-depth analysis conducted by researchers who collaborated with them to deliver the program.
