Why is it important?

I presented an analysis focuses on the history of SWB’s implementation and pivotal moments in the program’s evolution with the objective of analyzing the available program data, balancing it with my own experience in managing international programs. Also, I examined the key learning points from two international programs—European Union (EU) Erasmus Program and the U.S. 100,000 Strong initiative. And lastly, I presented an analysis with key learning points on internationalization of higher education with the objective of analyzing the growing complexity in international education policies and the necessity of improvements in the current Brazilian strategy.
