Read out
Short overview
Who can participate?
Students from all universities the Munich Student Union is responsible for can participate in the programme "Come to Munich – be at home".
How is the programme structured?
The programme consists of intercultural workshop sessions (1.) and cultural events (2.).
1. Intercultural workshop sessions
Intercultural competence – what does that actually mean? Do misunderstandings due to interculturality occur and can I avoid them? Those are the type of questions to which all the participants together seek to provide answers during the intercultural workshops. Teamwork, group discussions and simulations lead to unexpected insights and tremendous changes in perspective. A great basis for personal development regarding soft skills but also for being able to use this knowledge to expand your personal network throughout the world.
Participating in all intercultural workshop sessions is mandatory.
2. Cultural events
The cultural events are intended to promote networking and encourage students to reflect and engage in intercultural communication. You must register for and attend three events from the events programme below.
