The EWC participated on April 29 in the Norwegian Council for Teacher Education meeting, where among other issues the "Internationalization of Higher Education" was discussed.

EWC's research coordinator Claudia Lenz highlighted several ways of how students can serve as bridge builders between formal education, research and civil societies to foster a culture of democracy, human rights and intercultural understanding.

• Students engage in moderated online discussions on EDC, HRE and ICE (peer-to-peer learning)
• Students engage in school development projects linked to theoretical reflection opportunities (action research approach)
• Embedded into study modules students participate in local/ international events related to human rights, democracy, intercultural dialog (service learning approach)

The reactions from the participants underlined the strong motivation of teacher training institutions to contribute to sustainable democratic societies – in Norway and internationally. The EWC is looking forward to future cooperation in this field!
