In alignment with Humber’s Internationalization Strategy, the School of Media Studies and Information Technology recently launched the Social Media Summer Program, a collaborative initiative with one of our partner institutions in Denmark, Business Academy Aarhus (BAAA). In the first program of its kind, students from BAAA joined domestic Humber students for two-weeks from July 17-28, at Humber’s Lakeshore Campus. 

In this innovative course, taught by faculty from both Humber and BAAA, students discovered how to create relevant and meaningful social media content, and apply effective communication strategies across various platforms. In addition to trips to Facebook, Google and many guest speakers, students also gained a global perspective of social media from both a Canadian and Danish point of view.

Beyond the classroom, both Humber and BAAA students had a great time building meaningful relationships and expanding their international network. One Humber student participating in the course described his experience as a valuable “study abroad opportunity at home”.
