The International Office (HSIN) is offering intercultural seminars. These include introductory seminars and regional trainings.

The introductory seminars cover the theoretical foundations of social and intercultural competence. Culture Manager Aylin Chaban is offering these every semester.

The regional trainings are advanced practice-oriented seminars in which the knowledge from the introductory seminars is deepened. They are offered each semester on different dates for different regions:

• India
• Arab cultures
• West Africa (Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana)
• China
• Japan
• Taiwan
• Latin America
• Turkey
• Eastern Europe
• Malaysia
• Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan)

Please note that not every regional training is offered every semester.

The Erasmus Staff Exchange is to encourage employees to visit a partner university for a period of at least 5 days where they apply their newly developed theoretical knowledge into practice. The experiences gained by this prepare THWS to continuously take on the challenges accompanying internationalisation with success.

Your stay abroad can be financially subsidised as part of the already established international staff mobility. The application and the procedure are subject to current regulations of the THWS International Office (HSIN) For further information, please visit the websites on staff mobility.

You would like to participate in the Intercultural Certificate+ but cannot go abroad?

Should you not be able to participate in the Erasmus Staff Exchange, you can alternatively participate in an English advanced regional training.

Every semester, one to two English webinars are offered on relevant topics by THWS-partners, in which you can apply the knowledge gained in the regional seminars.
