The workshop focussed on teaching as a way of changing the mind and learning as construction of knowledge. The H-BRS expert team in Didactics worked with 24 SZTU participants to examine new teaching approaches and intended learning outcomes in regards to neurodidactics.

The young professors, lecturers and postdocs from SZTU received certificates for their successful participation in the workshop. The collaborative workshop is going to be continued as an annually occurring event, in order to closely connect German and Chinese teachers as well to strengthen the important partnership between H-BRS and SZTU.
