Im akademischen Jahr 2021-2022 führt das Internationale Schreiblabor im Rahmen von ENLIGHT Virtual Exchanges mit den Partneruniversitäten Tartu (Estland) und Ghent (Belgien) durch. Der Virtual Exchange im Wintersemester stand unter dem Motto Understanding the Mysteries of Academic Writing in Globalized Scientific Communities. Studierende und Lehrende der drei Universitäten bearbeiteten in interdisziplinären und interkulturellen Teams Fragestellungen der ENLIGHT Challenges (z.B. Public Health, Sustainable Energy). Die Ergebnisse wurden kollaborativ in einer selbst gewählten wissenschaftlichen Textsorte dargestellt. Sie werden in Kürze hier veröffentlicht.
Im Sommersemester werden im Virtual Exchange Project ENLIGHT Challenges go Social Media mit den Partneruniversitäten weitere ENLIGHT Challenges bearbeitet. Hier liegt der Fokus auf der Veröffentlichung der Ergebnisse in Social Media. In den ENLIGHT-Projekten des Interkulturellen Schreiblabors bekommen Studierende die Möglichkeit,

  • eine authentische interkulturelle Lernerfahrung zu machen und diese zu reflektieren,
  • durch die interdisziplinäre Auseinandersetzung mit ENLIGHT Challenges aktuelle globale Probleme zu bearbeiten und dabei neue Perspektiven kennenzulernen,
  • sich mit akademischen sowie berufsorientierten Textsorten anwendungsorientiert auseinanderzusetzen
  • und damit ihre Schreibkompetenz für interkulturelle Kontexte weiterzuentwickeln.

"The reflection of the own writing process in the many discussions we had during the meetings helped to understand and improve one's one writing process.“


"I liked the intercultural exchange in this project. I met new people with whom I could discuss workshop-related and general topics. We used the group meetings not only for the project itself, but also for getting to know each other and our cultural background better."


"I enjoyed being in touch with students from other countries, and discussing differences. This was really a unique opportunity for me which I am genuinely thankful. I liked that there was time to do this and to get to know each other, before and while the groups were divided. The division of the groups happened naturally, because of the discussion of the challenges, which was well done! It was a big plus that students from all different field of studies could participate. Another thing that I liked, was that it was a stressless environment, something I don't usually encounter in academic projects."


"I liked the fact that we cooperated with other EU universities and that we could work in teams. This was great for intercultural competencies."


"I discovered the power of cooperation as well as the power of receiving feedback and advice from our fellow peers."


"All of the topics were relevant, I really enjoyed the experience and the things that I have learned during the workshops!"


"I liked the diversity of the participants, the topics and the positive energy."


"I liked the diversity of the participants, the topics and the positive energy. Learning about the "behind the scenes" of social media (properly) was awesome! Everything was explained properly and I found it particularly helpful that we always had some time to practice the techniques we learned among ourselves and then give each other feedback."


" I liked that it was very collaborative and that it was very practice oriented. It is nice to have an end-result, and to have a really nice Instagram account as a portfolio."


"I liked the cooperation and the brainstorming with my group members, I enjoy the fun with them."


"I learned more about my process in writing and how my mind approaches a topic, it gave me a clear structure that was fit to my own personality and personal way."


"I learned about creating awareness and being careful with the words that we use while writing. I learned how to make more creative texts and how to catch attention more easily."
