Description

Are you looking to meet new people with diverse cultural backgrounds and to make new friends while gaining intercultural competence? Then look this way! The Intercultural Skills Programme offers students a unique opportunity to gain theoretical knowledge about interculturality, which is essential in today's globalised world. It also allows you to meet new people in a social setting! The programme takes place both online and in-person at your home university. It is open to all students at any EUGLOH university.

The programme is structured in a mentorship format where you get placed in a mentor’s group with students from your own university who have different cultural backgrounds than your own. During the programme you will attend 3 online lectures where you gain insight into different concepts of interculturality. You will also get the chance to interact with students from other universities across Europe. During the programme you will be expected to meet twice with your mentor group, both to discuss and reflect on what you have learned in the online lecture. Furthermore, there will also be 2 social gatherings organised by your university where you get to meet and do something fun with all the students in the programme from your university.
