On October 19 and 20, the Cross Cultural Training was organized and faciliated by SPRING with funding support from DAAD. The two-day workshop took place to increase the cross-cultural awareness, and mutual respect among the current batch of SPRING students, selected from Africa, Asia, South America and Europe. Supported by a professional moderator, the students reflected and discussed about their first experiences in Germany as well as about expectations and challenges oft the special intercultural learning situation and prejudices against other cultures. During the weekend the participants worked in sub-groups on exercises aimed at forging a group identity and establishing a basis for working and living together.
