Limitless learning: Student exchange combines Riegersburg and Hungary!

Felsőcsatár, Ungarn - In an exciting initiative, the Riegersburg middle school promotes intercultural learning through the “AT-HU Talent School” project. Pupils travel directly to their partner school in Felsőcsatár in Hungary. The focus is not only on the exchange of knowledge, but also the deepening of social skills and intercultural dialogue. This reports meinbzirk.at .

What can the young travelers expect in Hungary? In addition to a play about everyday school life, a quiz about Hungary is also organized. In addition, manual activities such as honey slingers and the traditional Csardas dance are on the program. These lively activities help to overcome linguistic barriers and establish new friendships. The return of the Hungarian hosts to Riegersburg is already planned for autumn and underlines the importance of such international school partnerships.

intercultural competence and school development

Another important aspect of the school projects is the long -term vision of intercultural and international school development. According to an analysis of the website exchange-macht-schule.org , international experiences are essential for school development. Teachers have the task of further developing the schools by conveying intercultural and international skills. This faces the challenge of transferring the traditional into the modern education system.

The change to a quality-oriented school is closely linked to the promotion of project work, which integrates both formal and non-formal elements. To achieve this, professional learning communities are essential that support the exchange among teachers and improve teacher training. In order to successfully implement these intercultural experiences, the project "Intercultural Learning for Pupils and Teachers" offers numerous further training modules for teachers, such as on globaleshernen.de can be read.

The future of learning

The integration of intercultural learning into everyday school life is not only a challenge for students, but also for teachers. Often there is a lack of didactic concepts that make it easier to impart intercultural skills in class. Workshops and training courses are intended to support teachers in targeting these skills in their lessons and to open up new perspectives to the students in this way.
