Making a programme intercultural

Marianne Ankjær

Marianne Ankjær, Study Leader, HUM
The MSc in Web Communication will be open to international students from Sept 2017, and I want to ensure all students on the programme benefit from an internationalised curriculum so they can learn and study together well in mixed cultural groups.

Student learning connecting Denmark and Norway

Hanne Kaae Kristensen, Associate Professor, SUND
We decided to address SDU’s internationalisation strategy by including an international, blended learning assignment by getting mixed groups of Danish and Norwegian students to appraise journal articles using Skype or Adobe Connect and Office 365.

Learning through intercultural role-play

Anna Galej and Anna Osiecka (Masters students, SAMF and NAT), Caroline Pedersen (Bachelors student, NAT)
We wanted to develop our own intercultural competences so we can work well in intercultural groups and to co-develop a workshop to benefit other students.

Engineers need intercultural competences too

Søren Jensen, Lecturer in Technology and Innovation, TEK
On average the IDE section at TEK sends approximately 50 % of a cohort of engineering students abroad for an exchange semester. This project aims at dealing with the 50 % of the students who stay at home and how we can activate the incoming exchange students in the internationalisation of the home students.

Flipped Learning Approach to Intercultural Competences

Zheng Grace Ma, Associate Professor, TEK
The Cross-Cultural Matters Course is developed in response to software industries saying they need employees (software engineers) to understand and be able to manage the cross-cultural environment. I wanted to find ways to make this meaningful for the students so they see the relevance for now and when they get jobs.’

Intercultural communication from Session 1

Carola Inzunza Pedersen, Assistant Lecturer, HUM
I wanted to integrate activities to help the students develop and practice their intercultural communication competences across the course...

Intercultural team-work for students and graduates

Donna-Marie Jørgensen, MSc IT Product Design student, HUM
I strongly believe that it is essential for all to recognise that SDU graduates not only leave with a solid education, but also to possess the relevant new learning and an awareness of working with various cultures in an international setting. I saw this project as a way to address this need.

Robb Mitchell Assistant Professor, HUM
To contribute, even in a small way, to friendly co-existence…perhaps it should go on tour.
