Course Contents
The virtual intercultural simulation game Megacities takes place in cooperation with the Université de Grenoble and the Universidade de Lisboa. A simulation game is an experiential learning method whereby students experience interculturality through play in the context of internationality, multilingualism, virtuality and various cultures. Students will be encouraged to reflect on their own, often unconscious ideas of normality and thus deal constructively with foreignness and multilingualism.
