Students know central concepts and approaches to intercultural education and communication, and understand the processes of social domination, marginalization and exclusion.
Students are able to analyze how discourses of culture, cultural differences and intercultural education and communication may reassert dominant hegemony, prevailing social hierarchies, and inequitable distributions of power and privilege.
They can evaluate various texts and images of cultures and cultural difference, and also how meaning-making regarding difference informs their own world views.
They are able to design material (presentations, teaching material, texts, videos etc.) regarding intercultural education and communication in which sociopolitical context is acknowledged and questions about control and power are raised.

The course focuses on critical approaches of intercultural education and communication. It consists of lectures, discussions, group works, reading and seminar. After examination of central concepts and approaches students will analyze and evaluate various texts and images of cultures and cultural differences, and also reflect their own world views. Students read course literature in groups and present its basic points to other students. In groups students prepare and give an oral presentation regarding intercultural education and / or communication. Students reflect their learning based on lectures, discussions, presentations and literature in a learning diary.
