Our English language lecturers Branka Šuput and Svea Kršul participated in the 10th International Week at the University of Vigo in Spain, which was held as part of the Erasmus+ Program for teaching staff mobility.
As the program took place on the campus in Ourense, along with professors from Germany, Latvia, and Portugal, on the first day our lecturers had the opportunity to get to know thit old Galician town under the expert guidance of local students. The sightseeing was organized and designed as a group competition called "Ourense Challenge" - each group of lecturers had the task of visiting ten places in the city, answering the questions, and confirming the answers with selfies on Instagram. In this interesting way, they were introduced to the history and sights of Ourense and had a lot of fun. The winners received hoodies with the X International Week logo.
Spanish and German students from the University of Bremerhaven participated in the lectures and workshops held by professors from the participating institutions.
For the international academic group, our lecturers held interactive workshops on the topics of tour guide language and academic writing skills, while lecturers from India, Turkey, and the United States gave their lectures online, as did professors from Finland and Romania. They held an intercultural workshop on the GLOBDIVES international project, on global citizenship and diversity management in higher education.
The participants concluded that such projects are a great way to connect within the global academic community, which was confirmed by one German student who, when asked if he felt like a global citizen, answered: "Now I feel like one".
Equally positive impressions had our lecturers.
