At the HWR Berlin we believe that international exchange should not be limited to the physical realm. Through a range of digital exchange projects we help students of all backgrounds gain international experience and develop vital cross-cultural competencies.
This Staff Week aims to bring faculty and administrative staff with an interest or experience in this field together to share best practices and discuss concrete ways to implement such projects. Participants can also leverage the network effect, by using this event to meet new potential digital project partners.
