Duration: 01/09/2020 - 31/08/2023

Project Name: Problem-Based Learning, Intercultural Communications and STEM in Higher Education

Summary: In a PBL setting, students learn together as they solve problems. As classrooms become more multicultural, it produces challenges related to intercultural communications. Hence students tend to cluster with other students from the same cultural background. This makes it challenging for cross-exchange of knowledge across cultures when learning and it also robs the student of the needed intercultural competence required to operate in multicultural working environments. The project aims at providing online and offline tools that will enable students to develop the intercultural competence needed in a multicultural PBL learning environment.

Target Groups:

• Students
• Teachers
• Professors

Objectives:

• Building inclusive higher education systems
• Promoting internationalisation
• Supporting individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences
