International Staff Week November 2024 - "Global Perspectives in Education"
As part of International Week in November, the University of Teacher Education Tyrol was once again able to welcome international guest lecturers from various European countries. This semester, ten lecturers from Poland, Germany, Latvia, Belgium, Portugal and Norway took part, enriching the programme with their expertise and diverse perspectives and inspiring the university's academic community. The programme of events included a variety of captivating and informative lectures on current topics in pedagogy and education. Key topics included ‘The digital kindergarten’, ‘Social exclusion of young people’, ‘The multilingual classroom’, ‘Internationalisation of teacher training’, ‘Evaluation in educational contexts’ and ‘Promoting critical thinking’. These events provided valuable impulses for teaching practice and invited professional exchange. Lecturers from the PHT also presented their knowledge and thus contributed to the diversity and quality of the programme. In addition to knowledge transfer, the International Week focussed in particular on networking and exchange between the partner universities. The informal and friendly atmosphere promoted cooperation and dialogue not only during the lectures, but also during other programme items. The ‘Intercultural Brunch’, which traditionally takes place during the International Week, was also a popular event this year, which contributed to a better cultural understanding and more intensive exchange. A visit to the affiliated primary school and lower secondary school provided a deeper understanding of the Austrian education system. The international guests gained valuable insights into teaching practice and the school concept in Austria. The supporting programme also offered the opportunity to get to know the city of Innsbruck in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. A city tour of Innsbruck and shared meals created spaces for informal dialogue and strengthened the group dynamic. A cultural highlight was a visit to the musical ‘Hair’, which not only provided entertainment but also contributed to the cultural development of the participants. Thanks to the positive group dynamics and committed exchange, the International Week was a complete success. New partnerships were forged and existing contacts with European universities were strengthened. The event provided both the guest lecturers and the PHT with a valuable opportunity for international collaboration and knowledge transfer.
