ABSTRACT
The concept of transnational learning is not something new. In fact, ‘diffusion-ists’ would no doubt argue that it has always been an implicit feature in the evolution of civilizations since the beginning of time. After all, we have learned, copied, imitated, exchanged and appropriated knowledge from each other throughout centuries. Early explorers, travellers and tourists learned from those in foreign and exotic places that they visited and explored, before returning home to apply their new knowledge and ideas. Likewise, through encounters and exchange processes, new knowledge and ideas were left behind with those that the travellers confronted and communicated with during their excursions.
