ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Welcome & Introduction

Dr. ir. MaartenJan Hoekstra- Director of Education
Mieke Topsom MSc - Head of Education and Student Affairs (ESA)

Interculturality in BK Education

Dr. Remon Rooij

Welcome to the faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment! So many different students, so many different teachers. How can we work and learn together? In this session, we are going to explore how our cultural backgrounds might influence the way we think and behave in an academic environment. Through an introduction of Erin Meyer’s Culture Map approach, we will set you up for small group discussions on how culture might affect design and/or project education. To finish the morning session, we will elaborate on a few topics via a discussion table. This will allow you to exchange your ideas on interculturality in BK Education with some of our international staff.

Workshop Intercultural education

After the morning programme in Echo about interculturality in BK Education, we would like to give you a first opportunity to work together as intercultural groups in this one-hour workshop session. The workshop takes place at BK and you will be divided according to your tracks.
