EUniCult's Objectives
EUniCult's priority objective is to develop modules of general education that facilitate the acquisition of the following key competencies:
• Critical thought and stringent argumentation
• Responsibility and social competence
• Cultural competence as a prerequisite for creativity
• Thoughtful self- and other-perception
• Intercultural understanding and recognition of the Other
• Translation between languages, sciences, and life worlds
Developing General Education Modules
As a first step in the implementation of its agenda, EUniCult has developed sample general education modules that are being tested and evaluated by the universities participating in the network. The long-term goal is a coordinated, Europe-wide set of modules that can be integrated within the curricula of all degree programs.
