Faculty or students give an impression about their research (and/or teaching) on one of the issues of diversity, ideally with regards to the context of education. No preparation needed. Just come in, relax and join the discussion.

This easy format is part of the DAAD project to internationalise teacher education (Lehramt.International) at the University of Oldenburg but also at the partner institutions in South Africa and the Netherlands.

In 2025 we focus on language sensitive teaching/multilingualism/linguistic diversity.
