💡 Intercultural competencies | Student exchange and study abroad

 

Intercultural competencies are becoming increasingly important for students, with internationalisation rising in many institutions. These competencies can be developed during physical mobility, but they are also greatly enhanced when students are actively involved in their own learning. In this session, we will explore how meaningful student engagement can foster intercultural learning and empowerment, as well as an enhanced sense of belonging within universities.
