Overview
Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences (Germany) is inviting students to take part in a Blended Intensive Program “Discovering opportunities of the virtual world for interculturality and multilingualism: DACADU meets Extended Reality”.
The project seeks to develop intercultural competences and language skills via extended realities, enhancing and developing awareness around interculturalism and plurilingualism through collaboration and engagement with students of EUt+ universities. During the online sessions students will also work on an intercultural blog and place their posts (text, videos etc.) there: DACADU (see: interculturalblog-hda.de/ ). During the offline sessions students will be introduced into language learning via virtual realities and discuss opportunities of extended realities for developing multilingualism and intercultural competences. Students will create their own examples.
Applications are open until 26.09.2024.! Places are limited.
The program will happen both online and face-to-face, participants must attend all parts of the program:
