<span class="" style="font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 0px;"><em class="" style="margin-bottom: 0px;">We keep hearing that we are living in an intercultural world and that we need to prepare for it. What does this really mean? How do we meet ‘other’ people? <br class="" style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
What are intercultural relations made of? This introductory course will tell you everything about the knotty idea of the ‘intercultural’ and help you to deal with it.</em></span></p>

<span class="" style="font-weight: 700;">Short description:</span><br class="" style="margin-bottom: 0px;">
This course introduces and explores intercultural relations in daily life and proposes to move beyond certain assumptions towards a richer and more realistic understanding of the word ‘intercultural’. The course will be of interest to anyone who wrestles with
this knotty but central notion of our times. Many concepts such as culture, identity, intercultural competence and intercultural communication are discussed and revised. Myths about interculturality are also unpacked and dispelled. The course proposes a very
useful framework to address theoretical and methodological issues related to intercultural relations. Fieldwork in Finland will help the students to apply their knowledge to the reality of everyday life.</p>
