Approach and adaptation with regard to COVID-19
One of the most useful and productive educational seminars that I attended.Participant at Cultural Coaching for Future Teachers, University of Bamberg
Summer and winter schools
I’m proud that I was able to pick up so much inspiration and so many points for reflection from the seminar on intercultural aspects. I’m bound to still have some gaps in my knowledge concerning Poland and am still uncertain how best to come across as an interculturally competent person. But what I do know for certain: I’m grateful that in the context of the seminar 'BaTEG Winter School 2023: Bamberg and Poznań' I was able to gain my own intercultural experiences and acquire the tools that I’ll need for my work as a future teacher.Participant at the winter school with UAM Poznań, University of Bamberg
Guest lectures and guest lecturers
To reach students who do not have a primary interest in internationalisation issues, BaTEG has once or twice a year been advertising financial support options for international guest lectures at teaching-related events for which lecturers can apply. There were 40 international guest lectures in a vast array of disciplines that have been funded since the start of the pandemic. This concept reaches a large number of student teachers and even provides them with experience of internationalisation that they might not otherwise actively pursue. It also strengthens collaboration with international academics, scientists and researchers, and our relationships with the partner universities.
Despite limited curricular flexibility, the strategies described above have in recent years enabled us to reach a large number of students and engage their enthusiasm for international and intercultural experiences.
