Diversity Training – ‘Intercultural Competence’ in Research and Teaching (13./14.06.2024)

The workshop aims to sensitize for categorical differentiation and stereotyping in intercultural contexts. It will promote ‘intercultural’ skills in research and teaching. You will get to know tools / theories from cultural studies as well as reflect upon your unconscious bias and experiences. By that you will increase your teaching and research quality and increase your communication skills in general. To encourage creative thinking and create authentic learning situations, we will use interactive learning methods. This will include various group activities and innovative exercises.
