intercultural and educational experiences of the learning group, i.e.both staff and students should be seen as actors.

The theme of the approach is governed by the notion of:

Understanding Contemporary Europe and its Diversityand Identity.

› Key question: how to understand our own identity and the identity of our European neighbours.
