This workshop offers exciting insights into the diversity of intercultural teaching and learning situations and focusses on the use of culturally sensitive methods that help to build bridges to international students.

Topics such as different learning motivations, dealing with culturally influenced hierarchies and the expectations of independent learning offer valuable starting points for enriching teaching across cultural boundaries.

With new impulses and a deeper understanding of the individual needs of students, we create an environment in which cultural diversity can be experienced as a genuine enrichment. Join us and create an inclusive teaching practice together!
