Lernergebnisse der Lehrveranstaltung

After successful completion of CREACT Virtual Learning, outgoing students are able to reflect on their own and others characteristic ways of framing/behaving in a given cultural context, to manage their thoughts and emotions as they become aware of the nature of the cultural gap between themselves and the culturally different other and to bridge the cultural gap by moving toward the other’s way of framing/behaving.
