Transatlantic Summer Academy on Sustainability, Bremen
The three-week Transatlantic Summer Academy explores sustainability from an intercultural perspective and is organized by InterCultur gGmbH (subsidiary of AFS Germany) and Jacobs University Bremen, in close cooperation with AFS Intercultural Programs USA. It brings together university students from Germany and the USA to work on questions like the following: How is development related to environmental problems? What is sustainable development? How do people in the world perceive sustainability? How can we solve the problems that arise when different cultural values meet?
The Transatlantic Summer Academy is characterized by its innovative combination of university lectures, hands-on experiences and practical intercultural workshops. An experiential learning approach leading to a very deep and lasting understanding of the topic addressed. Coupled with the intercultural exchange made possible by working intensively within a German - US-American group, this makes this program a unique intercultural learning experience!
The Transatlantic Summer Academy takes place from July 20 to August 9, 2017. It is being held in English and is open to German and US-American university students with a demonstrable interest in environmental issues and/or intercultural encounters.
