SUNY COIL・LatAm COIL・Kansai University JIGE COIL Partnering Fair 2026 brought together more than 200 participants from 20 countries around the world, providing opportunities for faculty members, educators and coordinators to connect with potential partners for COIL projects.

 

To accommodate participants across different time zones, the fair featured two live Zoom sessions on October 6, one in the morning and one in the evening (EDT). Both sessions provided opportunities for participants to share their interests, exchange ideas, and explore possibilities for future international collaborations. In addition to the live sessions, a dedicated Padlet board offered an asynchronous networking space where participants could introduce themselves, share their COIL interests, and connect with potential partners at their own pace. 

 

Through this joint initiative, SUNY COIL, LatAm COIL, and Kansai University JIGE continued to support the development of international partnerships and expand opportunities for virtual exchange, helping educators build connections and lay the groundwork for future collaborative learning projects.
