Bensley\u00a0has been offering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soliya.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Soliya Connect international<\/a> virtual exchange opportunity in his World Cultures course every semester for the past four years. This semester, he had two course sections, one with and one without Soliya.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the upheaval caused by the coronavirus, four students in the non-Soliya section had the chance to take part in a unique project-based opportunity to develop a social media campaign. Throughout the five-week program, students met online to speak \u2014 face-to-face and live \u2014 and collaborate with their global peers on an awareness campaign concerning health or migration. They were exposed to a diversity of views and identities and encouraged to speak openly and honestly, allowing them to practice critical thinking, curiosity, cross-cultural communication, empathy, and teamwork. In completing an infographic on a migration, they also built self-efficacy and a sense of global citizenship and belonging.<\/p>\n<p>Final projects were voted on by Soliya members and the general public in seven countries. NMC student Conner Rieck was a member of the winning team made up of students from Italy, France, Palestine, Turkey, Tunisia, Syria and the U.S.!<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations, Connor!<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Migration.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View the infographic<\/a>.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim Bensley, NMC&#8217;s Director of International Services and Service Learning, reports that NMC student Conner Rieck was part of a winning international social media campaign.
