Intercultural experiences of South Asian students in the Germanic<br />

Adrian Millward-Sadler<br />
(FH Joanneum University of Applied Sciences)<br />
Globalization has changed the tertiary education environment in recent<br />
years, as studying in Europe has become increasingly popular with non-EU<br />
citizens. This talk summarizes the intercultural experiences of Indian<br />
students who chose to study engineering at a central European university.<br />
Information, gathered from written reports and individual interviews, is<br />
framed in terms of intercultural theory to highlight major issues<br />
experienced.<br />

Building intercultural competence and managing international<br />
projects<br />
Barbara Lapornik (LS "France Preseren")<br />
The growing number of international contacts and student exchange<br />
programmes demand from our students a solid intercultural competence,<br />
which should find a permanent place within the school practice. In this<br />
presentation, we will consider skill-building activities which implement our<br />
students’ cultural awareness and support the teachers in the successful<br />
and effective management of their projects.<br />
Educating for cultural awareness<br />
Kristina Urboniene (LAKMA/Siauliai 'Sauletekis' Gymnasium)<br />
Project work is a useful tool that helps develop creativity, self-confidence<br />
and intercultural competence. International projects give students the<br />
opportunity to be educated as culturally rich, emotionally strong, initiative<br />
and tolerant personalities. In this presentation the ideas on participating in<br />
an international Comenius project will be shared and the benefits of such<br />
activities will be highlighted.<br />
