Course objectives
The concept of intercultural learning has experienced a huge spread over the last two decades. Trends of internationalisation and new migratory flows have promoted various approaches and methods for intercultural learning in research and practice. It is likely that situations of "cultural overlapping" remain permanent relevance and cultural learning will develop further as research-and action-relevant area . Simultaneously, in the context of intercultural learning, new activities and professions emerge in the education sector . The aim of the seminar is to provide theoretical and practical references for intercultural learning and to stimulate students' own reflections. For this purpose, the following topics will be covered:
