Summer Academy on Intercultural Experience
This Summer Academy on Intercultural Experience is an intercultural learning opportunity for young adults which takes place in Karlsruhe, Germany, annually since 2010. From July 16 to 27, 2018 it will be organized for the ninth time by InterCultur gGmbH (subsidiary of AFS Germany) and Karlshochschule International University. Participants can earn academic credits according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The Summer Academy aims at developing applied solutions for intercultural challenges in business and society. It will bring together scientists, practitioners, and students to work together on the following questions: What are the major themes in intercultural cooperation and communication? How have international networks changed? What kinds of conflicts arise and how can we deal with them? How do society and the organizations react to the intercultural challenges in a world of growing complexity and diversity? How can we integrate socio-cultural sustainable solutions in diverse societies?
In sum, the module will bring together perspectives of different scientific backgrounds as well as practical exercises in order to ensure multi-perspectivity in teaching and learning.
The Summer Academy on Intercultural Experience is open to anyone aged 18–35 with a demonstrable interest in the field of intercultural communication and management. Primary target groups are undergraduate students with at least one year of academic record (by start of the academy) and young professionals with a background or interest in intercultural experiences. Participants also need communicative English skills as all courses are taught in English.
