The workshop will start with a general introduction into culture theory and a discussion of the concept of intercultural competence. This will be followed by different case studies, role plays, simulations and discussions in order to reveal and understand the concepts inherent to one's own culture and the way these concepts influence our perception of other cultures. The workshop will focus on the following aspects:

º Raising awareness for different (learning-)cultures
º Comprehending the meaning of cultural diversity for learning and teaching processes
º Developing methods of intercultural teaching
