Project connect!

 

 

In the Project connect!, German and international students come together to form teams for one semester.

In different project formats, the groups work on a topic with an intercultural dimension.

Aims:

  • networking of students from different disciplines and nationalities
  • introduction to intercultural awareness
  • developing action strategies for working in (international) project teams
  • creating a project and presenting it (e.g. film, photo exhibition)
  • improving German skills by working in (international) project teams

Group size: The maximum number of participants per project format is 18 students. In each project format, three to six participants work together. Each participant chooses the project format.

Supervision: one tutor per group

Registration: You can register by sending an email to studienstart-international(at)verw.uni-koeln.de with your name, student ID number, degree programme, semester and intended degree (e.g. Bachelor/Master).
