In the process, the students get to know other students from a culture that is largely unknown to them. They train their communication skills, their awareness of intercultural issues and improve their understanding of other cultures and their own culture. In the recorded final presentations, which the students prepare together, the aim is to work out commonalities and differences between the cultures.
