This intercultural course is designed to prepare students for a
living and study experience in a foreign environment. Lectures,

giving the students the basic background for exploring further
the cultural heritage and transformation of the host country.
They also aim at overcoming preconceived notions by making
students aware of changes in family structure, peer relationships,
social and political attitudes. During the second term, a journal
or sketchbook, kept abroad, is used as one of the measures of
