•
Online
Preparatory Course
During
the online course, the students participating in the "Achill 2005"
project, will work together in virtual teams. This is done for 4 months
before they finally get together for an Intensive Seminar on Achill Island.
The aim of the preparation is to put students in contact internationally
and help them develop intercultural awareness.
•
Intensive
Seminar
After
working together in the virtual international teams for 4 months, the
participants get the opportunity to meet each other and work together
in a work shop situation on Achill Island in Ireland. They meet their
"virtual partners" in real life and continue their work with
them, face to face in an 11-day contact seminar. The teaching consists
of a mix of academic lectures in intercultural communication, work shops
and concrete community work where international teams offer their help
to the community in which they are staying.
