Abstract

A Case-study Inclusive Internationalisation at a Dutch University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands (main campus) and in the Middle-East (branche campus).The method applied is Inductive thematic analyses of data.Leasons learned: we (teachers, management and learners) need to bridge the gap between policy or ideology and classroom.
The result of failed polyphony is cacophony: a harsh and discordant mixture of voices that drown out participants to work towards meaningful collective/inclusive objective.Pursuit of relatedness (polyphony) is a valuable fundament or first principle; but it is not enough since underlying social systems of commitment, goal-setting, staff and student engagement are needed to actualise.Change power over into power with.Paradox: there can be no inclusion without exclusion.
