‘Intercultural Dialogue: Collaborative Teaching and Learning in International Settings’

Join a UNIC Teacher Training online and develop international and intercultural competences.

In the workshop you will meet teachers of partner-universities of the UNIC alliance, which come from: Belgium, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and Turkey.
In this international setting you will familiarize with the concept of Virtual Exchange (resp. COIL), you will reflect on your own teaching culture and discover the learning and teaching culture of your partners. You will collaborate to create a Virtual Exchange setting for your students. You will create first ideas for fostering the collaboration of your students. You will discuss challenges of intercultural encounters and learn how to deal with them. You will have the chance to network with other teachers from the UNIC alliance.

The workshop will take place online and be held in English.
