Short description

After an initial orientation in Antwerp and the Dutch language, we will use group-dynamic activities to accelerate the formation of the International Supergroup in which you have enrolled.
Drawing on the differences in background, we will study and incorporate intercultural, cultural and self-awareness competences in mixed groups.
Students are also involved in seminars on world-views, human development and stress-handling, closely connected to their own interests and study background.
The whole semester will be infused with new ideas about working from a more mindful approach.
