European Dialogue Project 2015

Das Projekt wurde auf deutscher Seite von Regina Brautlacht, Fachleiterin für Englisch im Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften, im Jahr 2014 ins Leben gerufen und auch in diesem Jahr geleitet. „Wir möchten unsere Studierenden dazu ermutigen, die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten digitaler Kommunikation in Verbindung mit der englischen Sprache als Lingua Franca dazu zu nutzen, sich international vernetzt für Nachhaltigkeit und innovative Ideen einzusetzen“, so Brautlacht zur Zielsetzung des „European Dialogue Project“.

Angesichts zahlreicher positiver Kommentare seitens der Studierenden scheint dieses Ziel erfüllt:

"I think the whole project was useful in the intercultural learning process because we worked together with the students from other countries and experienced how they approached the tasks and their way of working."

"I would start with not focusing on the 'culture gap' between Germany Italy and Portugal, because at the end of the day these are people with more or less the same lifestyle, similar activities, similar daily routines and similar knowledge concerning English and common knowledge in general. The way we interacted with each other and planed our meetings and discuss content during our meetings was not different, as we would have collaborated with English students."

"It was really nice to communicate with other students in other countries and it was a great experience that you are able to work in English with others and they could understand you and were actually impressed with your good pronunciation."
