Our Virtual Exchange project, “United Against Terrorism: Building Bridges Across Borders,” brings together students from Seneca College and the University of Florida to explore and address complex challenges in counterterrorism. Through cross-cultural training, cultural competence workshops, and collaborative project design, students develop empathy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills necessary for effective counterterrorism measures. They engage in scenario-based discussions and active shooter response simulations to assess and improve preparedness.
