Welcome! Willkommen! Doubtless there is an increasing demand for interculturally competent people in education, social service institutions and businesses all over the world. Therefore, it is important to gain a better understanding of how people and organisations become interculturally competent. To reach this aim, the conference is organized around four major issues: >> How to foster intercultural competencies? >> What can schools and universities contribute? >> Which challenges do social service institutions face? >> What is the perspective of economy? We warmly welcome you in Linz to discuss these important questions from various perspectives with leading experts. Interkulturell kompetente Personen sind weltweit gefragt, egal ob in Bildungseinrichtungen, Sozialen Einrichtungen oder in der Wirtschaft. Daher ist es wichtig besser zu verstehen, wie Personen und Organisationen interkulturell kompetent werden. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, wurde diese Konferenz rund um vier Leitthemen organisiert: >> Wie können interkulturelle Kompetenzen gefördert werden? >> Welchen Beitrag können Schulen und Universitäten leisten? >> Vor welche Herausforderungen sind Soziale Einrichtungen gestellt? >> Welche Perspektive hat die Wirtschaft? Wir heißen Sie in Linz sehr herzlich willkommen, um diese wichtigen Fragen mit namhaften Expertinnen und Experten aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zu diskutieren.
