Cultural understanding 4

The fourth and final course about cultural understanding directly prepares the students for the GCP-trip to their partner-country in their 3rd year. In this course we give the students a number of concrete tools on how to expediently approach cultural meetings, when they are travelling abroad, going to school with and staying in the homes of students from another culture. We take a closer look at the partner-country's different cultural expressions, and we discuss the students' prejudices of the country they are visiting. On the basis of the program made by the teachers travelling with them, the students will prepare interview-guides, practice strategies for dialogue with other cultures and talk about strategies for how their stay in a partner student's home can work in the best possible way.
