Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s levels. Students who have an interest in intercultural studies, intercultural \/ multicultural education and social justice, but also sociology and anthropology. No background in intercultural studies or Chinese language needed.
\nSynopsis<\/p>\n
The world is changing dramatically, and we need new ways of explaining and understanding what is happening when people meet across borders (national, regional, cultural, linguistic borders, etc.).<\/p>\n
In the first part of this exciting course, new critical perspectives from the fields of multicultural \/ intercultural communication and education are proposed. Basic concepts such as culture, globalisation, identity and diversity are introduced and critically reviewed.<\/p>\n
The originality comes from using China to illustrate the second part of the course. The One Belt, One Road Initiative, which promotes connectivity and cooperation between different continents, is a great example of today\u2019s new global world. The initiative aims to support infrastructure networks, as well as cultural and educational collaboration. This example is best suited to work on today\u2019s interculturality.<\/p>\n
Working together and with the lecturers, the participants will analyse different documents about the initiative and discuss what interculturality is and what it entails. The participants will learn to transfer the acquired knowledge and methods related to interculturality to other contexts.
\nLearning objectives<\/p>\n
The students learn to analyse situations of interculturality from reflexive and critical perspectives; they have a good understanding of intercultural encounters in different contexts of communication and in education; they are able to critique basic concepts related to interculturality; they have acquired knowledge about how to discuss and examine China\u2019s One Road, One Belt Initiative; they are able to transfer this knowledge to other contexts.<\/p>\n
