Information about Global Circles
What is a Global Circle?
Global Circles are a good way to get started with the new possibilities of the virtual programme. They give participants the opportunity to engage in an interactive and open dialogue.
Over a period of two weeks, participants have the opportunity to discuss interesting topics with people from different cultures.
The programme will require a time commitment of 2.5 hours per week for working on assignments and intercultural dialogues on the respective topic and another 2.5 hours per week for participation in live discussions with all participants.
At the end of the programme, you will be awarded three ECTS credits.

Feedback from participants
‘There are so many great people out there who are happy to interact with students from other countries and share their experiences and culture with others. I am very happy to have had this experience and will definitely participate in the programme again in the future.’
'My highlight was the realisation that you can come to a common conclusion even if you are from different cultures and each have different perspectives."
‘I enjoyed how openly and constructively we discussed each other’s opinions in our group. There was a vivid exchange that encouraged me to share my own opinion.’
