“…An "important part of the way [the lawyer] teaches is that [they] really use these methods […] but [… they are also a] very positive person [and] if the teaching itself is positive and the students have a good experience, they are likely to remember more". As a result, both the doctor and the lawyer have gained respect in their departments, and thus garnered sufficient levels of trust-which is an important vehicle of influence for grassroots leaders-among immediate supervisors and colleagues to integrate internationalisation and a more evidence-based approach seamlessly to student-centred learning into their grassroots initiatives (Davidson and Hughes 2022).…”

This study investigates the meso level impact of an academic development programme on internationalisation. We demonstrate the relevance of the framework of grassroots leadership in higher education in the Central European context and show how individual programme participants acting as grassroots leaders influence departmental attitudes and practices regarding internationalisation and student-centred learning. We identify two successful strategies—single-issue and multifaceted—for grassroots leadership. The study finds that established faculty member participants who are also active as grassroots leaders facilitate the spreading of the influence of an internationalisation programme beyond the individual level, highlighting the differences and similarities in the activism of faculty grassroots leaders in Central Europe vis-à-vis the USA.
