Through visits, engaging lectures, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking discussions with experts from diverse fields and teachers of the EUNICE network, you\u2019ll uncover the ways in which borders\u2014physical, linguistic, and cultural\u2014 are shaped by migration and the legacies of colonisation. If you are interested in interculturality and decolonial perspectives, this programme offers you the space to discuss assumptions, connect with peers from diverse disciplines and backgrounds, and reimagine the world through a critically informed lens.<\/span>\r\n<h4 class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"JsGRdQ\">Learning outcomes<\/span><\/h4>\r\n<span lang=\"en-JM\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">By the end of this intensive programme, participants will be able to:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><span lang=\"en-JM\">Demonstrate grounded theoretical knowledge in interculturality.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span lang=\"en-JM\">Improve analytical skills to critically engage with aspects related to coloniality, interculturality and power relations through language, discourse and space.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span lang=\"en-JM\">Develop self-awareness and a sense of cultural humility, recognise one\u2019s own cultural background influences, and understand one\u2019s own cultural identity, assumptions and biases.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span lang=\"en-JM\">Reflect on a wide variety of narratives and adopt an integrative approach to culture, space and language.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span lang=\"en-JM\">Understand the importance of space, culture and language for healthy European democratic societies and sustainable communities.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>Contact details<\/h4>\r\n<a href=\"mailto:julie.walaszczyk@umons.ac.be\">Julie Walaszczyk<\/a>.","programme":"<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Crossing-Borders-Programme.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-16315 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Course-Programme-150x150.png\" alt=\"Course Programme.
