Pirkanmaalta kansainvälisille kentille - How we prepare our students to meet the demands of multicultural business environment

Introduction:

This project was launched in an international seminar "New Learning Environments and Cultural Differencies" at Tampere College in May 2009. After the seminar an expert exchange program for teachers of services and business sector was added to the funding application.

The aim of the project is to develop a package for language and cultural training, which could be put to use also in other educational sectors, and a more internationally oriented Moodle learning environment. As a result, teachers of services and business sector will gain new motivation for cross-border co-operation and get to know new partners so that it will be possible to create a new network of experts.
