Course contents

This course offers the opportunity to learn and reflect your cultural experiences during your stay abroad in Tübingen on a personal and professional level as future teachers. The course is intended for international students of all disciplines, primarily with the professional goal of teaching.

Students will be provided with foundational knowledge on a global awareness approach within an educational context through leading theories of education, (cultural) diversity and (inter)cultural communication. On this basis, the participants independently observe characteristics of global awareness features based on their own reflections, research and interviews in different contexts. With this exploratory practice set against the expanding experiences as students abroad, students will develop their ability to make informed decisions in future educational context and become critically reflective teachers.

• reflect and discuss their experiences during their exchange semester
