\"Everything always comes down to what’s the purpose of education- why are we doing it? And if we start from this basic concept, why is it we are educating? Why are you here to do your degree? Is it you just want a piece of paper, or do you want to make some difference to your life? Why are you an academic? Is it because you just want to teach or is it because you want to make a difference? And when you get to those deeper level questions, quite often you find out that they start using a language of global competence […] It’s about having those deeper level conversations to get people to really articulate what it is they are doing and why…. And then you find people are more likely to engage, or actually realise that they are already engaged… and I guess it also enables students, programme teams, academics to see where there are gaps because global competence is a raft of things you always aspire to”
