Free places available in two courses!
- "Teaching Ireland – Virtual Exchange with the University of Limerick"
For registration or questions, please contact [email protected]
The course combines a Virtual Exchange with students from the University of Limerick with work on cultural topics, film and digital media. Participants work in German-English tandems and complete three collaborative projects between October and November. Together with your partner, you will create a multimodal presentation or video on student life, produce a bilingual podcast based on the films Brooklyn and Almanya – Willkommen in Deutschland, and complete a cross-cultural sustainability review. The projects provide opportunities to discuss cultural perspectives with your partner and to work together in different digital formats.
- "The 'New Irish' Poets"
For registration or questions, please contact: [email protected]
This course takes as its starting point the poetry anthology "Writing Home: The New Irish Poets" (edited by Pat Boran and Chiamka Enyi-Amadi). The anthology gathers more than 50 poets from all over the world who, in various ways, explore notions of writing 'home' in Ireland. They speak to the larger developments in Ireland during and after the Celtic Tiger years, which globalised the Irish economy and reversed the pattern of migration that had drained the Irish population for centuries: suddenly, inward migration exceeded outward migration. A multicultural economy is not automatically followed by a multicultural society or cultural sphere, however. Therefore, the volume must also be considered a forum for ethnic minority voices to make themselves heard.
