HE4u2 - Integrating cultural diversity in higher education.

Francesca Uras Diskussion gestartet von Francesca Uras vor 7 Jahren

Within higher education there is a clear need for training teachers working with migrant students, to reform the delivery of support for these learners, integrating at the same time an intercultural dimension for all learners. Our project HE4u2 aims to develop an approach to the intercultural dimension of existing curricula, CPD courses for staff, and policy recommendations focusing on the curricula and the teachers of adults in HE, who often provide access for disadvantaged groups, are student-centred, have specialised support and are linked to regional agencies.

We have just published the second project newsletter where you can find the latest updates on the project activities and steps accomplished so far.

What is your experience with trying to integrate cultural diversity in your everyday teaching practice?

Randolph Hi Francesca, I'm currently working on an Erasmus+ project on digital literacy. We are building a MOOC and have delivered a series of train-the-trainer sessions (the trainers are migrants too).

We produced a paper on this topic, which I can share here. But you have to enable file sharing option for this discussion.

We are currently building an online course module, in which we try to stimulate reflection on this practice, which appears to be quite unusual in our culture.

Many of them now with their smartphones produce "dubsmashes" on youtube. This is basically digital stories, in which which migrants / refugees in a quite ironic manner simulate behaviour and practices of Germans in everyday life situations.
