Internationalization as strategic leverage for innovation in Higher Education

The chapter explores systems of activities and organizational devices to support internalization in Higher Education and professional contexts. The thesis is that internalization, and specifically internalization mobility, is a strategic leverage for innovation in Higher Education. Accordingly, we present three experiences of outgoing mobility carried out within the framework of the three-years project FORwARD (MUR 85901) - Training, Research and Development of “community-based” strategies to support practices of living together in multi-ethnic contexts) held by the Department of Education at the University of Siena (Italy). The last paragraph proposes a reflection on how to design a transdisciplinary and transnational curriculum in Higher Education.
