The course will be of interest to anyone who wrestles with this knotty but central notion of our times. Many concepts such as culture, identity, intercultural competence and intercultural communication are discussed and revised. Myths about interculturality are also unpacked and dispelled. The course proposes a very useful framework to address theoretical and methodological issues related to intercultural relations. Fieldwork in Finland will help the students to apply their knowledge to the reality of everyday life.<br \/>\nTarget audience:\u00a0Students with at least two years of completed Bachelor\u2019s studies in any field.<br \/>\n<strong>Selection:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8211; minimum 2 years of completed Bachelor\u2019s studies in any field of study.<br \/>\n&#8211; a motivation letter of max 300 words written in English explaining clearly and honestly why the student is interested in the course, what s\/he expects to get out of it and how s\/he plans to use what s\/he has learnt in her\/his future life.<br \/>\n<strong>Outcomes:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe student will be able to\u00a0reassess and discuss the definition and importance of intercultural relations today;\u00a0develop a useful framework to address conceptual and methodological issues in relation to intercultural relations;\u00a0analyse, explain and approach intercultural relations from a critical and reflexive perspective;\u00a0criticise simplistic ideas about intercultural relations<br \/>\n<strong>Contents:<\/strong><br \/>\ndefinitions of intercultural relations, culture, identity, diversity, community<br \/>\nthe meanings of globalization<br \/>\nmyths around interculturality<br \/>\nothering, stereotyping, representations<br \/>\nhuman rights and interculturality<br \/>\ndynamic intercultural competence<br \/>\nan introduction to the basis of discourse analysis<br \/>\n<strong>Implementation:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n4 days of 5 hours contact learning in classroom per week + 1 day of fieldwork per week.<br \/>\nLectures 32 h, workshop 8h, fieldwork 12 h, group work 22 h, individual work 23 h = 97 h<br \/>\n<strong>Learning materials:<\/strong><br \/>\nArticles, presentations, audiovisual material, webpages<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introducing and Exploring Intercultural Relations in Everyday Life\u00a0 August 9-19, 2016\u00a0in Turku, Finland We keep hearing that we are living in an intercultural world and that we need to prepare for it.
