As part of our mission to promote intercultural education, the Erich Paulun Institute is launching a new project, “Language, World, Experience,” which brings together Chinese and German school pupils and teachers. Through combining classroom learning with study trips to China, we encourage young people to engage in dialogue about and across cultures. In so doing, we aim not only to foster understanding of the ways in which other people think and act, but also to promote critical self-reflection as world citizens.

The concepts and goals of intercultural education which underpin the project will be discussed in a lecture series beginning in October. Lectures are open to the public.

More information on the series can be found on our events page.

The project is supported by a grant from the Karl Schlecht Foundation.

In winter semester 2017-18, Prof. Dr. Hans-Wolf Sievert will be
teaching a block seminar on intercultural management with a focus on
Chinese business culture at Weltethos Institut.

Please review your individual study plan and check with your department to determine whether you can take this course for the full ECTS credits offered.
