Online-Workshop: Intercultural sensitization for international students
21 November 2022 17:00 – 18:00 (zoom)
28 November 2022 17:00 - 19:30 (zoom)
in between: asynchronous tasks (Mahara)
"Intercultural competence" is a broad and sometimes somewhat fuzzy concept, which we will reflect on together in this workshop, guided by theory, and relate to different areas of student experience. One's own perspectives and perceptions play an important role in this process, as they significantly shape assumptions, actions, and evaluations - for example, regarding teaching/learning culture.
