A Staff Toolkit, which includes a collation of webinars on related projects and their resources, to further support staff on their IC development journey.
A Community of Practice LinkedIn page, to engage with other colleagues interested in IC and stay up to date with TICKET news and events.
A Project Handbook, with practical instructions to implement TICKET locally, in order to enhance their internationalisation initiatives and Continuing Professional Development programmes for staff.

Develop learning approaches focussing on cultural adaptation and immersion, intercultural competence, and introducing cultural intelligence into the classroom environment.
Create effective learning pathways for a diverse group of staff in order to foster inclusion and tackle discrimination, segregation, and racism.
Design a holistic and transferable model for supporting IC in staff through a learning technology environment, which can be replicated in other institutions.
Develop a virtual support environment to provide a platform to facilitate joint efforts at sharing, teaching, and learning using ICT to provide a rich seam of opportunities for interaction across borders.
