Talking about the evolved revolution of digital basis morals in India, Dr Roger Moser, Macquarie University, Australia, said, "I am working with students from Chitkara University and trying to understand their views as the contexts can be quite different from what we see in Australia. Hence, it is pertinent to see what and where we can learn from each other."

Dr Tamar Rodney, John Hopkins University, USA, said, "We are able expose different ways of thinking, learning and sharing different practices through this process in Global Week. I found it extremely valuable to share what I have learnt and also learnt from the students at the same time."

Prof. Indra Odina, Faculty of Education, Psychology and Art, University of Latvia, Latvia, added, "The concept of internationalization at home is very essential and it's also very good for sustainability issues.
