As part of the seminar, students present and analyze their experiences during their stay abroad. The aim is to put their individual experiences into an academic context (intercultural discourse, intercultural awareness and understanding, etc.), discuss them with their fellow students, and compare them with their experiences. In order to achieve a stronger bond between the students and the FH Kufstein during their semester abroad, to strengthen the cohesion of the cohort, and to promote an exchange of experiences between the students, this course is conducted during the semester abroad with the support of eLearning methods. The content of teaching is a structured reflection on the similarities and contra-dictions of theoretical teaching knowledge and practical applications in order to achieve a critical reflection ability for the theory-practice friction surface in the sense of a synthesis of both for professional practice. Individual experiences are critically reflected upon together in group discussions structured by the course instructor (e.g., via forums and chats).
