Our project was started by the Heinrich-Heine-University in Duesseldorf, Germany and the University of Pretoria, South Africa, in 2016. Since 2020 the Kyung Hee University in Seoul, South Korea is our third partner. The project is based on the collaboration of three lecturers who jointly organise the cross-site seminar, create new learning formats and develop innovative didactics and methodologies.
