Short Description:
Education with Intercultural Specialisation takes cultural diversity - in theory and practice - as its point of departure for understanding human learning processes, socialisation, development and the cultural and structural conditions for these. The broad concept of culture embraces different kinds of commonality and affiliation. Students develop in depth knowledge of learning and pedagogical theories from an intercultural and ethical perspective. Students work with understandings of transnational and cosmopolitan identities in today’s globalised world. They also work independently and critically to identify, assess and compare particular cultural assumptions and social imaginaries and their consequences for both individuals and societies. Through this program students develop theoretical tools for analysing, organising and leading learning processes in different types of schools, organisations and organisation cultures. This is a research preparatory course.
