What actually is Culture?

Please note:
These are short videos that are usually made available as part of an online or blended learning seminar. The intention is to convey the information through this medium. In addition to information and knowledge, building intercultural competence also requires affective exercises, i.e. exercises such as role plays and simulations, real-time discussions and linking your experiences with what you have learned. It is unlikely that you will be able to build intercultural competence simply by watching the videos. Nevertheless, the total of 16 short videos can help you reflect on intercultural encounters and situations. Ask for a complete list: [e-mail]
