About the course
Content
The content of this course is learner driven. Working in intercultural dyads or triads, students will select and research one of 6 potential areas - body image and social media, climate change and youth activism, disability and society, diversity on screen, gender and education, science denial and youth activism - in order to design and disseminate a social media campaign.
Over 6 weeks, students meet in small groups of 8-12 participants for 2h00 via Zoom to engage in intercultural dialogue and work towards their social media campaign. They alternate plenary phases where all members of the group are engaged in intercultural dialogue, and project work in breakout rooms.
The social media campaigns made by students are shared on the Espace Langues Instagram page.
A minimum level of B2 in English (European framework) is required to participate.
