Please note:
These are short videos that are usually made available as part of an online or blended learning seminar. The intention is to convey the information via this medium.
In addition to information and knowledge, developing intercultural competence also requires affective exercises, i.e. exercises such as role plays and simulations, real-time discussions and linking your experiences with what you have learned.
You will probably not be able to develop intercultural competence by simply watching the videos. Nevertheless, the 16 short videos can help you reflect on intercultural encounters and situations. Ask for a complete list: [e-mail]
