Lecture Series
Sommersemester 2024
Lunch talk: Schools and teaching around the globe
Mondays, 1-2 p.m., via Zoom
What is school like in other countries? How does teaching in Europe differ from teaching in other parts of the world? Which challenges are similar, which are unique to a particular region? This inter-university lecture and workshop series will present international perspectives on schools and teacher education.
This initiative, a result of collaboration among four Bavarian universities under the 'Lehramt.International' programme by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), aims to address students, teachers and teacher educators alike. The Lehramt.International projects BaTEG (University of Bamberg), FAU Lehramt International (University of Erlangen-Nuremberg), global.trex Passau (University of Passau), and GoTEd (University of Würzburg) have joined forces since 2021 to foster the exchange of best practices and initiatives for improving the conditions for internationalizing teacher education in Bavaria.
