Can interculturality be learned and taught?

24/10/2017

Lecture by Jan Christoph Heiser at the China Center (CCT) of the University of Tübingen

As part of the lecture series on the Erich Paulun Institute project Study Trips and the China@School program at the China Center Tübingen (CCT), Jan Christoph Heiser spoke on the question:

„Can interculturality be learned and taught?“

The lecture revolved around the pedagogical question of learning and the teaching and learning of interculturality. First, a systematic educational-theoretical justification of the concept of learning was undertaken, which also reminds us that the most important learning-theoretical approaches in general pedagogy are particularly suitable for linking with the idea of interculturality. Particular emphasis was placed on the anthropological, epistemological, aesthetic, and physical-pathic aspects of learning. Subsequently, the extremely fruitful connections between pedagogy and intercultural philosophy were demonstrated using the polylogue, and an intercultural concept of learning was outlined. Finally, a definitive answer to the question posed in the title was provided and two goals of intercultural learning were presented.
