Diverse Internationalisation of Teacher Education

2021 - 2024
Teacher Education (TE) in universities has remained one of the least internationalised subjects in higher education. Yet, teachers are expected to educate future generations to become global citizens. In other words, students of teacher education are so far ill-equipped to transform their prospective pupils into individuals with a global mindset. Since international projects in schools are comparatively rare and most teachers do not have or take opportunities to engage in further education in internationalisation at a later stage, (high) school education shows comparatively few international components. DITE focuses on the element of internationalisation to increase capabilities of future teachers by sensitising TE students to international perspectives.
