At the end of the 1920s the International Review i10 was published in the Netherlands. This avant-garde magazine was characterized by the search for radical innovation in art and society. The editors of i10 created an international platform where several European avant-garde movements could exchange their ideas.

This article focuses on the extent to which i10 realized these transnational ambitions to provide an innovative platform of the European avant-garde.

The Utrecht School of Journalism has a long tradition in international higher education. The School’s European Culture & European Journalism (ED&EJ) programme is an example of a pedagogical practice in higher education where advanced students learn how to perform in an international context. Journalism students from Moscow to Ottawa and from Helsinki to Bilbao learn alongside Dutch students. It is not only the content of the programme and the reporting for the Web Magazine that makes the EC&EJ programme an inspirational educational experience. The programme demonstrates the importance of sharing different professional and cultural values. This sharing and confronting of professional standards contributes to an important new qualification for all higher educated professionals: awareness of cultural differences and similarities
