Zusammenfassung

Beim “Working Across Borders”-Projekt handelt es sich um ein virtuelles interkulturelles Projekt unter Beteiligung von Hochschulen und Universitäten aus verschiedenen Ländern auf drei Kontinenten. Ziel des Projektes ist es interkulturelle Kenntnisse durch interkulturelles Agieren zu vermitteln: das heißt gleichermaßen in Theorie und Praxis. Wesentliches Merkmal des Projektes ist neben der Vermittlung und Anwendung von Wissen und Kenntnissen im Bereich der Interkulturalität die Zusammenarbeit der Studierenden in interkulturellen Projektteams. Methodisch wird dabei vielfältig gearbeitet: die Vermittlung der Inhalte erfolgte auf verschiedenen Wegen. Das Lernen erfolgte auf der Höhe der digitalen Möglichkeiten in gemeinsamen Microsoft-Teams-Arbeitsgruppen, Kick-offs und Final Meetings in Form eines Global-Classrooms, Videos, Webinaren, Tutorials, dem wöchentlichen Freischalten von Aufgaben und dem Hochladen von Materialien auf einer gemeinsamen Plattform.
