ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Welcome & Introduction

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.
