The international classroom

Najat will provide a two hours online-session on the international classroom. The session will focus on defining the value of international classrooms, including themes like diversity and cultural sensitivity. We will work towards answering the following question: how can you prepare an international setting for future students and lecturers? During the session we define lecturers needs to organize when dealing with global learning experiences. This will be an interactive and contributory part where participants will work in groups, present ideas, tools and discuss opinions and experiences.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to :  
- describe how to relate their course to an "international" programme and to the courses of their colleagues
