8. AYY – Workshop on teaching in multicultural groups, come share your views! (11.11.2014)

How does teaching in multicultural groups work? Join AYY’s workshop and discuss with Aalto teachers what could be improved!

Aalto University is a community of almost 100 nationalities. Different cultures have different understandings of authority, of directness of speech, of the concept of a good student, of the role of the teacher, just to name a few. How could we make sure that the teaching situations acknowledge the fact that the groups are multicultural? How does cultural background affect the learning experience and understanding of the subtle non-verbal communication? How could we create an atmosphere in the class that would support openness and learning from other cultures? How could we make multicultural group works increase cooperation and understanding across cultures? How could we increase integration of international and Finnish students in teaching situations? AYY invites all interested members of the teaching staff to share their thoughts with international and Finnish students of Aalto University. In the workshop on developing multicultural teaching on 11 Nov 2014 from 4pm to 6pm at Open Innovation House (Otaniementie 19-21) students and teaching staff will discuss the problems they have experienced in multicultural teaching and think about possible solutions. Join the workshop to make sure the teachers understand your perspective to teaching! The workshop will function as a basis for AYY’s and Aalto University’s joint project on developing multicultural teaching in year 2015. Please sign up for the workshop by sending an e-mail to international@ayy.fi by 3 November. Refreshments and snacks will be provided, please inform us of your allergies and dietary restrictions when signing up. Welcome! /en/blog/events/ayy-workshop-on-teaching-in-multicultural-groups-come-share-your-views/
