“Participation in the Virtual World Tour gave me the opportunity to exercise that sense of adventure and curiosity about foreign countries in a new way. The content of the Virtual World Tour was really interesting. 

One week I could be discovering what high and low context cultures are on LinkedIn Learning; the next week I could be exploring what that meant in practice with students at Jiangxi University, China. I engaged with real people who were keen to share their experiences and knowledge of different countries. The ability to access the content on-demand really worked for me."
