Our 2021/22 international, interdisciplinary digital Winter School focuses on the concept of transculturality and its meaning for the “European Teacher” in the 21st century. The Winter School is open to student participants enrolled in teacher training programmes (all school types and subjects) in Heidelberg and at international partner universities of Heidelberg University.


COURSE CONTENTS

Transcultural approaches require interdisciplinary engagement and that is exactly what this Winter School offers. Drawing on the expertise of academic and educational experts from various fields, we will jointly explore, discuss and reflect on the concepts and related issues of “transculturality” and “Europeanness” as well as their challenges and opportunities. In this way, we seek to actively accompany you as future teachers on your journey to become reflective practitioners at an early stage of our future career and help you build a professional international network.
