The exploration of globalization of higher education led Robson Marinho, Ph.D. to organize this tour with 24 students in the Higher Education Program. The main focus of this tour was student mobility and intercultural communication.  The goal was to visit St Petersburg State University, Moscow, State University, University of Copenhagen, and University of Helsinsky.

      We first visited the university of Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. We sight saw the Little Mermaid, the Renaissance Stock Exchange, Royal Amalienborg Palace, and Christanborg Palace.  We stopped at Stockholm, Sweeden's capital.  We then visited the university of Helsinsky where we viewed Finlandia Hall, the Senate and market squares, weeping boulevards, and the doomed Russian church. Next we went to St Petersburg, where we sight saw the Tsar's Winter Palace, Nevsky Prospekt, St Isaac, and the Statue of Peter the Great.  We visited the Hermitage Museum and St Petersburg University. We all visited the Kremlin Fort, Millenium Monument, and St Sophia Cathedral. We sight saw Moscow, the Russian capital. We also saw the Red Square, Kremlin Walls, and the doomed St Basilic Cathedral.  In Minks, we saw the site of Napoleon's great defeat.  We stopped in Belarus and stopped for pictures. We stayed in Warsaw, Poland's capital where we saw the Warsaw Ghetto, and the landmarks of Warsaw's Old Town. Next, we stopped at Berlin. We saw Berlin's highlights such as, the Reichstag Building to the Tiergarten, Brandenburt Gate, Unter den Linden Boulevard, and the German State Opera House.

This tour was extremely productive and information. I had the privilege of being the spiritual coordinator of the tour, which gave me greater pleasure and brought me special blessings. The educational sessions were enlightening as they added to my practical knowledge. The tour was an educational and spiritual blessing.  It personally helped me to focus on my dissertation on international students.
